My Green Texas Pair laid eggs need help

[FrontonB20]

Hey my Texas cichlid laid eggs like 4 days ago and it looks like there starting to hatch so what do i feed them when they become free swimming. Thank you

if you have java moss that will do once the yolk sack is gone. another good alternative is microworms. and at about the 3rd week they should be able to eat crushed flake and mosquito larvae. or if it is easier for you just do baby brine shrim and daphnia at week two and brine shrimp and daphnia at week 3 along with crushed flake, I wish you luck with your fry, breeding is so fun and personally rewarding, for me it is anyway

I've used Hikari first bites before, as well as crushed flake food. Good luck.

New life spectrum baby food or just crush up some flake food and pellets until it looks like powder. GL!

Not to be a debbie downer, but dont be surprised if the 1st batch doesn't make it. There is usually a learning curve with cichlids parents, a little trial and error. Just do lots of little water changes, and make sure they eat once they can and they should be fine! Good Luck!

oh, and PICS!
