Parents ignoring fry

First of all I would like to thank you for answering my questions. The fry are hatched now and are looking for food from parents
but they seems to ignore them. My aquarium is 3ft x 2ft x 2ft. Do you think it is too big and they are loosing them? With what shall I help feeding them? Thank you in advance.

As I have told you the pair is still young. You have to give them time to learn. Or this pair when they were fries could be raised by artificial method.

The ideal size for breeding is 24″ x 18″ x 18″.
Your tank is too big. They have to work extreme hard to pick up the fries.

You need not feed the fries. The parents do. But you need to feed the parents more than the normal.
