My red head tapajos spawnwd andnits our 1st time. Fry are now 12 days old. Been feeding rotifers and baby brine. Do I just keep up the rotifers and shrimp?

Sounds like a good plan for the next couple of weeks. I'd mix in some crushed flake food in as well and see if they'll eat that. If they do great then ya can switch over to that, if not tho it ain't so bad having to feed them frozen foods a lil longer.

You can also crush up pellet food you feed the parents.

I've had Tapajos breed in my tanks a ton. In my experience, the parents are great at crushing food and making it available for the young. Then the young get good at foraging through sand sifting.
