I have noticed they have no issues eating the flake food I am feeding them, I am breaking it up small for them. However, I do want them to be acustomed to the diet of my big mbunas so when they grow up they won't be in "shock" when they get the blood worms andn brine shrimp treats every couple days that the others do. But I am scared the blood worms will be too big for their little mouths... should I buy some baby brine shrimp for them and just give it to them on the sced of the other mbunas?

I am guessing here as i have no experience with this.... but what if you crush the bloodworms with the flakes and feed it?

When I had yellow lab and socolofi fry I fed them crushed flake food for awhile. Then once they got bigger (about an inch) I started feeding them frozen blood worms and brine shrimp. I just slowly introduced the new foods and they loved them. That way once you are ready to put them in the main tank they will be eating the same as the others.

I've got 2 little fry right now that I am keeping for a friend. They are still eating just flakes. They are so cute when they are this tiny!

You could get baby brine shrimp if you wanted for them, but if you don't want to spend the extra money it's not needed.
