Do they still have their egg sacs?

I agree, if they still have their egg sacs they shouldn't need to be fed yet.

What are you feeding?

I have never heard of Makonde referred to as a collection pt. either

they will eat the egg sacs right.?

In a way..yes...they will absorb the egg sac

The egg sac is their food until it is all absorbed, then you will have to start feeding them fry foods. If you try feeding them when they have their egg sacs still, it will just foul the water and kill the fry.
