I've had a breeding pair since may and they have spawned twice i have 2 lots of fry in the tank now and looks like there about to lay another load of eggs soon...

I have been having some trouble with the fry and looking after them right,

Anyway i just been and bought some liquifry today to feed them on and hope for the best,

Would much appriciate if anyone would kindly give me their ways of looking after them or any cichlids for that matter

:)
 
I have some Honduran Red Point (close relative of the convict) fry now about 2cm, not very big...

They are still cared for in kind by the mother i.e. when food is big she chews and spits to make it pallatable for them. Otherwise I just feed crumbled up flakes mostely, with blood worm and mushed pea now and again

I moved the father to the main tank as he started eating fry, he wanted to spawn again and tried to cheat...

There's nothing much to it, just clean and do water changes more frequently, those fry are messy!
 
As above really, the more waterchanges the better, they grow quicker.
