i have a pair of ca cichlids that just spawned. the eggs are hatched and the frys are alrdy free swimming by their parents. i would say they're about a week old. is this a good time to extract 'em from their parents? their parents are taking care of 'em, however, they're in a mixed community tank along w/some large tank mates.

also, after i extract 'em, wut should i feed 'em? brine shrimp eggs? would the experienced breeders give me some advice?
