Help! Fry overnight!

So I just spotted these eggs a day ago on some upper leaves.
They didn't seem like snails so I isolated them.
They hatched last night!!!
Super tiny fry swimming around in there.

I think they might be from my emerald cories??

But could also be from my Celebes or threadfin rainbowfish. Or even my dragon gobies?

What should I feed them?!?
I want to try crushed to powder flakes or worms, but I don't want to foul the water in their little cup.

I have a separate nano tank that's cycled and planted and empty, could try that as a home but the difference in water PH could hurt them if there is one, plus I'm worried about them getting sucked in the filter in ANY tank.

What should I do?
Spawning net?
They seem so small they might go through all but the finest mesh

What do I feed them?????

Congratulations!
You can use a sponge filter in a separate tank.
When they will swim freely then you can feed them crushed flakes.

Better photos.
I'm still not sure what they are.
The size of the eggs made me think they were from the Cories, which are mature and the largest fish in the tank.
But they were laid on the highest leaves

Congrats on your new baby fry? It will be fun to see what they grow up to be. Alison

So does anyone have an idea of what to feed them? How to set them up so they survive??

They appear to be Cory fry to me. Coradee has a thread about Cory breeding, but I don't have a link to it. The good thing about that is that cory fry are really easy to feed. Just soak some pellet food, and when the pellets are soft, put them in the container. If they have used up their yolk, they will start eating on the softened food. After a few hours, use an airline tube to suck out leftover food, pour off some of the water, and refresh the water in the container. you can also feed them frozen bbs, should be able to get that easily enough. I would try to get them into a larger, filtered container/tank within a week or two.

Some Corydoras try to lay their eggs as close to the surface as possible, so it's not unexpected that they would have been laid on leaves near the surface. You refer to them as Emerald Cory, I suspect that they are C. aeneus, which is one of the easiest species to spawn.
