Jewel cichlid fry

So this is my first batch of fry ever and I don't quite know how to go about feeding them, the parents are very good it looks like.

When their egg yolks are gone feed them newly hatched brine shrimp, if move the fry to a separate tank.

I have not kept jewels but I assume they are like other cichlids.

When they are free swimming I feed my Firemouths and my Honduran Red Points Hikari First Bites twice a day for two weeks costs about 1.99 at most LFS. Then switch to crushed flake food.

If you are keeping main tank with the parents they will eat the leftovers that the parent spit out.

Provide a bunch of hiding spots. I would add a bunch of round rocks together and a bunch of plants where bigger fish cant get to and you should have some survivors.

They're in a corner with some good cover, plus the parents have been taking shifts on baby watch.
