what do i feed my baby convicts i know people say crush flakes to powder but what kind of flakes?

Answer 1

I've always used pellets with my young convicts. Shrimp pellets or cichlid pellets that sink. Once they're in the water a few minutes, they crumble themselves. And, since they're sinking, they get down to a level where the babies can get them. I've fed them this since my first pair spawned - I fed the adults and the "dad" would take a pellet, mouth it for a bit, them spit the food out for the "kids". Since then, I haven't bothered with anything else.

My convicts are now in their fifth generation and going strong.

Answer 2

go with omega one, they have a spirulina flake that is excellent and thier food is much better than most of the others out there, i like hikari too, and they have a baby fish food that is really good

Answer 3

I feed my convicts blood worm and cichlid crumble. It has all the nutrition they need.
