I went to Jeff Rapps place and picked out some gorgeous cichlids. My Honduran Redpoint Convicts spawned six days after I got them home. They eat everything and just keep spawning. On the other hand I have my Krobia sp. "xingu orange spot" pair. The male is growing really fast and eats everything. The female on the other hand won't eat anything. Well except for the tiny fry of the convicts! She is in a planted tank with a lot of driftwood. She seems content and is alway out in the open. Any idea of how I can get her to eat something else? I have tried everything dry plus frozen shrimp and frozen bloodworms. I was thinking of hatching baby brine shrimp? I have some eggs lying around. But I dunno they are just so very tiny. And I can't get any live food at all at any of the shops near me. Any suggestions?
 
Soon enough, once they starve enough, they'll have to eat at some point.

Try dividing the tank so she wont be in contact with others, let her cool off you know?

The again I dont know how dividers work if you cut of some part of the tank and it gets no filtration
