I have some young multipunctatus and more on the way what is the best to feed them at such an early stage and what are suitable cichlid tankmates for the smaller synos.

I have fed the babies that my adults have from time to time just about anything!! I start with microworms but before long they started eating flake food and frozen bloodworms. They can be kept with any cichlids that are not a lot bigger than they are. I have used Peacocks, Haps and labidachromis as cuckoo hosts!! Good luck!

Young multipunctatus are very easy to feed. Sinking pellets and any frozen fare works well. Lake Victoria Haps or Labidochromis are good Cichlid tankmates.

I strip my peacocks, if there aren't any catfish, I feed the eggs to my young multipunctatus. I prefer to raise my cats on cichlid eggs......

In other words, cichlid eggs are great food.
