Very cool even if only temporary

I made a discovery this morning as I was looking over my tank. I just happened to look into the overflow just to see how things were in there and to my surprise, I saw baby fish swimming around. I assume my clowns have spawned and these are some of the hatchlings. It was very cool to see, but I know they will not survive. Although if there was something I could buy to feed them, I would at least give them a chance. Is there anything that I could buy to see if they would survive for any period of time?

From the website:
They need live food to survive. Rotifers make a great food for clownfish. These are tiny organisms you can purchase online or culture yourself. You want to feed so that there are 5 to 15 rotifers per milliliter of aquarium water. You can will also want to hatch baby brine shrimp yourself. Many pet shops sell brine shrimp hatching kits. These will feed the fry as they grow larger.

I would hatch baby brine and in the time being i would get "First Bites" they would most likely eat that.

How big are the fish? Are you sure they're not Mysid shrimp or something similar? Depending on the size of the fish, you might be able to break up some flake food into small pieces and use that. GL.
