Cichlid Fry Eating

i got like 30 yellow lab fry cichlids and i dot kno wat to feed them. can i feed them Small fry Liquid food?

Oh yeah, i didn't have to strip the mother eather, cuz that doesn;t happen with my cichlids i have...Lol..
Thanks! :D

I think they're approximately 2 weeks old in age. I didn't strip them from their mom so they were a good size when she finally released them.

Hey, thanks and sorry, how long did you have this fry before they got this big?
Thanks Judy! :D

Oh, sorry, Lol, how long did you have them before they got this big? Thanks! :D

They're actually called Kenyi Cichilids. They grow up to look just like that, except the males turn yellow.

How old are the baby convicts? There convicts right? Mine just had babies with a african cichlid so the babie will look kinda weird but cute when they are older, i just wanna know hold long before they get this big, i didn't even know they were having babies, lol first time...
Thanks Judy

baby frys look so weird when born lol no matter what species they all look the same lol

i feed my big cichlid earh worms they love it aND FIGHT OVER THEM

any time when my gilrs are "pregnant"... :) ...i'm just waiting the moment when the spawn in the mouth will turn to fry.
Then i very gently take "mother" and shake out fries from the mouth into another small tank or just can (of course with airing and heater)

thanks that is very helpful, I assume this is why people talk about the mothers starving. I suppose I should get another little tank for her. I must say she has looked quite paranoid.

remove the rocks, and put her in a separate space. my fish didn't release any of her fry until i moved her to a separate holding area where she couldn't see any other fish (danger). when no one was around, she released the fry. whenever she saw me, she scooped them back into her mouth. if you can't separate her, make sure she has plenty of hiding space for her and her fry.

Our Rio 300 is set up for Malawi Cichlids and we mainly have mouth brooders, now we think one may be pregnant, our first. the girl appears to have a sack like bit under her jaw, which looks from other pictures on the internet like she may be incubating eggs. The problem we have is we don't have anymore tanks or space available and because of the rock work in the tank,it is virtually impossible to catch any of the fish. Is there anything we can do to improve her chances.

thanks for the explanation, can I ask an opinion from you? Currently we have several tanks keep fish like dwarf puffers, tanganyke(sp) cichlids, rainbows,plecos, cat sharks, silver dollars, american dwarf cichlids, fire eels, even cray fish

they're bad for full grown cichlids cuz they're pure protein, and they're supposed to have mostly vegetable matter. but they're fine for growing fry that are attracted to live, moving food. I feed my full grown cichlids food very low in protein (around 30%) and high in vegetable/algae matter.
