The were hatched at 82 degrees F as fry food. Considering they are most nutritious only in the first day or so after hatching because they still have their yolk sac, can I make them last longer by changing temperature now?

Can I slow the rate at which brine shrimp consume their yolk sac by lowering temperature?

What do I feed my betta fry?! Fish have already spawned and eggs will hatch within 24hrs.?
I have two half moons I have spawned, but it turns out my infusoria colony is a bacteria colony, that will most likely kill the fry. I have some wardey’s baby fry food for egglayers and livebearers that I used for my guppy fry it’s a gell and I also have hikari first bites and some other baby fish food. Microworms are not an option at the moment and neither are viniger eels, i might have an infusoria culture from ym guppy fry tank, it’s green water with some algae. I also have some baby brine shrip that are frozen and also some that I can hatch but I know I have to wait a few days before they can eat brine shrimp. Please help!

Betta Breeder’s Again…what did I do wrong?
I have spawned 2 broods…both lived for only a week, then they died. I feed them Small Fry food for the first week and had not yet started them on brine shrimp. I looked into getting a sponge filter, but the people at the pet store said that I did not need it (all the research says to though). I can not find one anywhere in my area. Is the filter my problem? I have an airstone, but again, the pet store said it was not needed. I have a bio filter that came with the tank (5 gal), and I thought about putting foam and small mesh (to keep the babies from being sucked to the foam) around the intake to use as a filter. Will that work? I don’t want to spawn again and loose those too.
OH! I do add salt to the aqu.
Another Betta Fry Question?
I have Fry (finally…2 attempts)…now…I have small fry food, and research says to feed them this from 2-5 days…can I feed longer?…also says to feed microworms 5-9 days or so…can I feed the small fry food for a few days longer then start feeding Baby Brine Shrimp (frozen…tried to hatch, but I am not good at that…lost whole batch!)?
All suggestions will be appreciated!
The fry were spawned on Thursday morning and hatched on Friday…removed Dad Sunday…I think he may have eaten some of the fry…that is why I removed him….Fry are doing good this morning!
