Jewel cichlid fry!

[Buddy Boy]

Hello, I just had jewel cichlid fry for the first time. They are still very tiny and still have their yolk sacks. I was just wondering how I should take care of them and what I should feed them. Thanks.

Now the fry disappeared. Is it possible that the parents moved them to a different spot?

That's possible, but it's also possible the parents ate them. That will happen with cichlids, especially new parents. Don't be disheartened, though. if you have an established pair, they should soon breed again.

Good News! The fry are still alive. Please help on how I should take care of them.

Great news about the fry! I've never worked with Jewel cichlids, but I found this searching Google:
