Feeding Baby T-Bar Cichlids

[razer121]

erm yes it sounds odd but i really dont know what i should be feeding them? at the moment im unsure what it is they have been feeding on although i assume it is the alge they have been eating, and of course food that has sunk to the bottom but it starts to go moldy if i dont remove it the same day! so what should i be feeding them?? they dont come to the top of the tank for food by the way... thanks!

How old are they?
To begin with they consume their yolk sac but when they become free swimming in a few days they require microworms and baby brineshrimp. Liquifry can be given a go as well. Home-made fry food containing egg are used sometime but water changes must be more regular. Parents will spit out some flake for the fry. They're lovely fish to breed, I've done it myself.

I tried liquifry with my baby Convicts and they all starved to death when i separated them from there parents.

Remember the parents feed the babys also.
