    CA/SA cichlids first off, secondly the parents will prolly eat the fry if you put them back into the tank. What size tank do you have to devote solely to this pair? Anything under a 125 would be a travesty.

    feeders=hith and provide little to no nutritional value

    fry eat crushed flake

    feed the parents a good quality cichlid pellet
