if you can move them then just treat them the same as other fish. with food you can buy 'fry food' or you can just grind up regular fish food into powder and feed that to them.
java moss is really good for baby fish. if you can find some place that sells it, buy a clump of it and stick it in there, they hide in it and can nibble on it. it works well for when they're too big to hide in the gravel too.
