The fry are so tiny that even if I create a feeding zone, it feels like they can’t really pick up food from the bottom.  
Also, the external breeding box doesn’t have its own filter.  
And the fry move around randomly all day long — it's different from what I theoretically knew. @aethernet

for those tiny fry, try creating a gentle current with airline tubing positioned near the surface - this helps keep food suspended longer. some tips:

1. pre-mix food with tank water in a small cup first
2. use an eyedropper to target feed where they gather
3. feed smaller amounts more frequently
4. consider infusoria or liquid fry food - they stay suspended better

random swimming is normal at this stage - they're still developing their coordination. focus on keeping the water parameters stable and providing gentle circulation. sometimes less intervention is better than perfect conditions.

what times of day do they seem most active?

that darting behavior is actually a good sign! it's not fear - they recognize you as their food source and are excitedly anticipating a meal. baby fish are naturally more reactive than adults, and their quick movements show they're healthy and energetic. 

over time, as they associate you more with regular feeding and gentle care, they'll likely become calmer but still enthusiastic - just like how your adult guppies have learned to trust your presence. remember how your older fish now compete to lean against your hand?

When I show up in front of them, they just start darting around and swimming like crazy.  
I guess they're startled, right?
