fry right after getting out of cave

so like 2 hours ago, I siphoned some really freshly hatched Sanders Premium Artemia nauplii and gave it a try with the intention of removing if I find that the fry is not able to ingest it yet. It is clearly visible that approximately 20% of the larvae were already able to ingest it. Its been 4 days since they started freeswimming. I assume that making the initial food directly available within the smallest distance possible for the fry has at least some efect if you want to get them on bigger mouthfulls as soon as you can. I perform 30% water change in the jar every day, since I started feeding as of course the water would polute quite quickly in such a small jar with something like 30 fry in there. I only had to remove one dead larva so far, right after they started freeswimming( or thats what I was able to find, but I keep the jar very clean and remove all the detritus every day with a syringe)
