baby cichlids

hey im about to have some babies around here and im trying to get some food for them. What do they eat? I have omega one small pellets and i have tetramin tropical flakes. are these good or should i buy something else? anyone have any ideas?

If you really want to give it everything you got I would recommend getter bring shrimp eggs and either decapsulating them or hatching them and feed that to the fry. If you can't do that I recommend getting HIKARI "First Bites" it's a great powder food for fry.

Check out those videos. The frozen is probably going to be to big for them to eat, but i'm not 100% sure on that.

they sell de-capsulated brine shrimp eggs...already done for you, a little bit more money but you don't have to go through all that trouble. I feed my mbuna fry the decap brine shrimp eggs, crushed up veggie flake, and golden pearls
