I got about 200 baby convicts.

There like 2 weeks old and swimming around a little now. The parents are doing a great job for first timers. Whats the next step? When will they start eating flakes or brine shrimp? I've seen videos of the mom chewing up food and spitting it out for them.Is that common?

Convicts are very good parents. I dont think you need to worry. They should start eating flakes and bbs soon. Just feed them small sized food 3 to 4 times a day.
