Fry Food At 2 Months (1/2 Inch In Size)

So I have danio fry that started out on egg yolk mix that we made ourself and this tiny flake called NorthFin Fry Starter that he just loves. Eats it up like crazy! We first noticed him June 8th and he's getting bigger now and wants to eat from the surface more (the fry starter sinks quickly) and we were wondering about other foods. We've tried grinding up regular flakes but they are still a bit big for him. Is there a food in between a fry food and adult flakes that he might enjoy?

update: I do feed all my fish frozen brine shrimp. would the baby frozen brine shrimp be small enough for him to eat?

Assuming you can find baby brine shrimp, yes that would be perfect. You can turn the filter off while feeding and the food will likely stay on the surface.
