GBR fry help

Hey guys & gals
I have a somewhat heavily planted 29g tank.
School of cardinals, school of pencilfiash ,GBR pair and agassizzi pair.
About 4 days ago I noticed GBR`s had laid eggs.
Aggasizzi pair getting harassed like crazy.
Today they are free swimming.
I took about 15 fry out and put them in a breeder net on the side of the tank and the rest I left for the parents to raise.
I doubt any will survive in my community tank as my cardinals will make short work of any strays.
Is Hikari first bites and some liquid fry food a good idea to try and feed the ones in the net ?
Is there enough infusoria or organisms on my plants or driftwood to sustain the ones I left with the parents ?
I know a community tank is not ideal to raise fry but I figured I`d give it a shot if I could.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thx !

What I think: if the net is big enough, the fry will do pretty good, but if you got another tank best move is to transfer them. You can add in the tank some fry food, it can't do any harm because you must change anyway daily some water.
