What to feed baby Cichla fry?

[Ramesh]

I have just bought home 5 baby Cichla fry and want to know what are the best foods to feed them?
I have them in a hatchery fry holder so they can find their food easier but the frozen Hikari baby brine shrimp were like fine snow and fell straight through the netting!
I only tried one cube but want to know if all baby brine are so small?
Maybe adult brine will be better?
The fry are about 10mm.

They dont need to be in a breeder cage....give the sm. cichla room. YOu can put live black/tubifex worms in there and they can eat non-stop 24-7. Then switch to frzn blood worms and mix in some crushed pellets. Upping the dosage of pellets to the mix over time.

Hope you have the little guys in a tank of 87 degrees w/ airation. The little guys catch ich really easily if the temp is too low.

Live blackworms and small guppies work very well on babies.
