What alternate food can I feed NEW zebra danio fry?

Question

I have just had about a hundred Zebra Danio eggs start hatching. They are not swimming yet. I know not to feed them til they swim.
I bought powdered egglayer fry food but I think this will still be too big the first week or two. I called many pet stores in this area and nobody has any liquid food.
I appreciate any tips and answers to the original question. I have had fish and many live births for 15 years but this is the first time I tried to raise egg layer fish from fry. All I have googled does not help with this problem, just gives general directions.

Also, I bought a small air powered sponge/carbon filter. When will they be strong enough to put that in? It is weak. You can see it just barely pull small particles into it. I have it running in my main tank to get seeded by bacteria. I want to keep the water quality as smooth as possible. No spikes or drops from water changes! I had to set this baby tank up FAST, I was not totally prepared.

Thank you experts.
