The baby tank should match the adult tank initially and be heated and filtered like the adult tank. Feed crushed up adult food and feed 4X daily. Remove uneaten food daily.
Some people change water daily on the fry tank for healthy growth.
They like to have rocks...maybe not the first couple of days they are spit. But since yours was already spit in the big tank...I would add rocks. I do keep fry tanks bare bottom (no substrate) while they are really young.
