Cichlid fry feeding

[rlane]

I have a pair of peacock bass that are spawning for me every 3 and a half weeks. My problem is getting the fry to survive. After a week to 10 days they slowly start dieing off slowly, which I think is from starvation. The last batch I was feeding live baby brine and frozen baby brine but I believe they may have been too large. The fry would swim into the cloud of food but didn't seem to be eating it. This batch I am trying hikari's first bites and frozen rotifers, and once they get a little bigger I will try to incorporate the baby brine again. Should I use anything else? The fry once again seem to be eating both the rotifers and first bites but both the fry and food is so small I am not 100% sure they are eating. Please help, I'll try anything, I am getting sick and tired of losing batch after batch of fry.

Aye, or any fish food for that matter. Ground it up and feed to the fries.

I've used hykari first bites and crushed ocean nutrition flakes. I want to try New Life Spectrum fry starter to see how fry like that. Good luck
