OB peacock fry

[Matt Oakes]

I am raising 2 different broods of OB Peacock fry that are about six
weeks apart. I'm new to the process and I've met with success so far. My
oldest group is about 8 weeks old and I am curious as what I should be
feeding them at this stage. They began their journey on baby brine
shrimp and progressed to frozen Daphnia. They now get a mix of crushed
flake, and the Daphnia, but I have recently heard that Daphnia is not
the proper food for cichlids at this age or at all. Besides, the fry are
getting a little big for it at this point in time. I would appreciate if
anyone could tell me what is a good food for them at this stage and what
you have had success (and failures) with so far. Thanks in advance.

At that point I treat them as adults, but still continue to change
water.............

I wouldn't feed them personally. I would feed them to something.
These are not peacocks they are a hybridized fish that should not be in
the hobby.

Just my two cents
