What species? A lot will depend on the species. If you are able to use bbs, be prepared to set up several hatcheries (2 l bottles with a bubbler works fine) & start a new culture every day. Uneaten bbs can then be raised in a small tank (5g) to be raised for the time when/if the surviving babies get bigger & need bigger food. Only newly hatched bbs are nutritious, so older ones will need to be gut loaded by feeding with spirulina powder & Selcon vitamins or something else good.
good luck, Anthony

Newborn Kuda fry are too small to eat bbs. You'll need rotifers for the first few weeks.

Yup, kuda fry are super tiny. Good luck though. If you raise rotifers, you should set it up similar to the bs hatchery, where you have several small hatcheries because they have a bad tendency to crash. Several of us on the coast were raising rotifers last year, but all our systems died out after a few weeks to months. If you get some reef-roids & rotifers, maybe try feeding both at the same time (ie. trick the babies into eating the non-live food so life will be a lot easier later). BTW, rotifers need to be fed phytoplankton. Doing the whole phyto, rotifer, bbs routine will be very labour intensive & time consuming (as well as take up valuable space) so I hope you have an understanding spouse
 Again, good luck. Anthony
