When feeding egg yolk you take a hard boiled yolk, place it in a piece of cloth, such as a handky, wet it, and squeeze it through the hanky.

The resultant mix can be then fed to the fry using an eye dropper. Don't use very much as this tends to foul the tank rather quickly.

Additionally, this is not the best way to necessarily feed the small number of fry you have and probably should be avoided. However, it is a very nutritious and high protein food.

have some java moss in there as they will feed off that a little. Baby Brine Shrimp is the best for fry i would recommend this.

This site below has some good info, just scroll down to "The new Fry" for more information
