After they absorb their yolk sacs they can be fed finely crushed flake food but baby brine shrimp are best.

Forgot to mention that the parents will now become little monsters!

How would I feed them as they are on the bottom?

 

[lock77]

I just crushed the flakes to powder and fed as normal, used to put a few cichlid pellets in to distract the others.

Ok thankyou for the help, an I know why you call them little monsters :L they own al least 30% of the tank

You can either put the crushed flake in the filter flow if it's a HOB type and the food will shoot down towards the bottom of the tank qucikly. Or take a pinch of flake add water to it, suck it up with some air line add blow it out near the fry.
