It really depends more on their size and growth rate.

But on average, next they should be able to eat:
grindal worms or live daphnia. You can supplement golden pearls or the large size of Mike Reed's NoBS fry food (I'm a big fan of this stuff) at this stage as well.

chopped (to make them appropriate size for your juveniles) frozen or live worms and other things like (adult) brine shrimp, bloodworms, black worms, freeze dried worms/etc, or even finely chopped fresh fish. I have seen a lot of success with the Fishsickle™!
