My convict cichlids laid eggs!!

I went this morning to turn on the light and to my surpsie I saw them both in the back of the tank. I went to check on them and I saw the female just touching the rock then i saw the brown little eggs. They kept spawing for about ten minutes. Every-now-and-then the male will try to scare the female away. I sooo excited!!!

It kinda hard to get the pics. They are at the back, so I have to zoom from the side. It was just luck that I happen to be walking by when they were spawing.

Well the eggs hatch today in the morning!!! How do I feed them once their egg sack is all gone? I know to get flake food and crush it into a powder, but will the fry go and eat it or do the parents give it to them? Well heres the pictures!!
