I posted this in the new members section and now realize I should put it here - please forgive the repetition. This is also my first experience "posting" to a message board!

I am new new new to Goldfish. I have only had my pair of Orandas for 2 weeks and this week they hatched babies in their tank. I was able to rescue 4 of them and now they are separate in a 10 gallon tank with 6 inches of water. Today they started eating the powdery crushed up goldfish flakes I gave them. I have read as much as I can on the internet about this but would love any extra advise!

Welcome to the message board and the wold of goldfish!
Congradz on your fry.How big is the tank that you have your
2 orandas in?

To Black Oranda - Thank you for responding! The two orandas are in a 29 gallon high Eclipse. It was a gift. We also were given a 55 gallon corner hex aquarium which presently has 5 fantailed goldfish in it.

I have fry at the moment. I have added a little salt to help with protection and a few drops of melafix. I put new water in every day or other day.
I have my fry in a plastic tub and move them to a clean one once a week
and back the next week (wash with hot water the dirty tub).

I feed live baby brine shrimp mostly and some liquifry powder(very small amounts) and feed about 2-3 times a day.

Currently have 40 fry and have only had 2 fatalities so far (one was deformed)

forgot to mention I use a pipette to feed, and also a pipette to suck up any
pooh that I can see. No airstone yet either - waiting until they are bigger.

Congratulations, and welcome to our board!!
Such luck, babies after only 2 weeks! I will put your post into the breeding section, and to give you some extra pointers on fry there is so much to read about them....
Most importantly, they are very fragile things, and can get easily disturbed by anything new or different. So try to keep your hands out of the tank as much as you can, as well as do not disturb their environment if possible. Do daily water testing on them, but it would be fatal for them at this point to add anything strong filterwise right now, since they are not the strongest swimmers and might end up inside the filter.
I usually have a cycled sponge filter someplace else in my established tanks to put into quarantine or hospital tanks, and yes, fry tanks, if I need it. They dont create such strength that the fry are disturbed. Its basically nothing but a bigger sponge connected to an airpump with airline tubing, thats all. It does not much in chemical or mechanical filtration, but its excellent biological filtration, since those sponges hold their precious cargo, the bio bugs.
When doing water changes, do them very carefully, and not too much at one time. 10% is the highest I would go, and get the fresh and dechlorinated water as close as possible to the condition of their tank water, like same temperature and ph. Get the new water into their tank with a bucket on higher level, and hang an airline tubing from the bucket into their tank, that way they dont notice the new water all too much, and its a more gentle flow.
As for food, high protein food is the key. If you can find brine shrimp eggs to hatch, or live cultures of worms, that would be ideal. Very small crushed up flakes like you are doing right now, is also good, but they do like a bit of variation to get all their nutrients in. I use microworms for my betta fry, you only have to buy them once, and regenerate them over and over again. They are easy to raise, especially if you like the smell of yeast in your kitchen....
Okay, I guess I wrote more than I planned to , but I think I got all the basics covered.
Oh, and if you live in a colder climate, it helps the temperature grately to keep stable if you put a heater in the tank....
I think I got it all now....
