Since their fries have smaller mouths than most dwarf cichlids', they should be fed infusoria or other microscopic food first, and then followed by brine shrimp or daphnia at frequent interval. They would normally attain approximately 1cm in length in about 4 weeks.
When they are larger and ready for live or frozen blood worm, growth rate would increase tremendously, and they normally attain the size of a full grown adult in about 3 months time.It might be interesting to note that they seem to be especially partial to live daphnia. However, fries from similar batch do not normally exhibit uniform growth. A number of larger ones would lay claim to the privilege of being the first to eat their fill. They are also the first few to show off their colors and start fake fights with their siblings.
