Strip the mother of her fry. Feed them baby brine shrimp. These can either be hatched, bought as prepared frozen cubes, or bought in a little jar thingy, dried and ready to be fed to the fry. Also, crush up cichlid flakes using a ziplock bag. They can readily consume those. You can also get an egg yolk, put it in a napkin, and swish it around in the water a few times. That way is really messy though. xP
