Baby Cichlids

Question
I have about a hundred new baby African cichlids. What do I feed them and how often? What is the best way to clean the tank now without sucking them up into the tube? Thanks for the advise.

Answer
Hi Gabrielle,
  I would feed them frozen baby brine shrimp.  You can get this at most fish stores.

  When the babies are really small (the first few weeks), I don't clean the tank.  After that, the kids are pretty good at avoiding a siphon, though you still have to be careful.
