Wayne,
Do you mean the parents are small at 1-2". That means they are Dwarfs, and the challenge of feeding them will soon be upon you. Have lots of rotifers until they are large enough to accept bbs.
Good luck

Yes I mean the parents are "dwarfs". I do have frozen baby brine, but that's it. I know the chances of the offspring surviving are low to nil but their environment is crawling with bugs of all sizes. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

I would remove the female, as she has done her part and will deplete the available critters. A couple of days after the male delivers the fry I would remove him as well.

I reared dwarfs in a rubble tank and they found lots to eat

If you've raised dwarfs in a rubble tank then maybe I've got some kind of chance. The tank they're in is always crawling, although I would love to convert them all to frozen.

My dwarfs did convert to frozen, they picked it off the bottom
They now eat frozen Mysis shrimp

The frozen mysis I have is too big for my dwarfs. My australian will eat it though. What type of mysis are you feeding?

For dwarfs I feed Hikari or the small size PE mysis from Aaron at Seanic
