    This is a gut response - I have no experience with breeding cichlids - leave them undisturbed for now.

    My Severums have done the same thing many times, I have continued with the normal water changes and they still continued to lay their eggs.... my 2 cents

    How is it going. Are they still fanning and protecting?

    Infusoria but not sure where you will get it so quickly? Liquifry No1 (but people say it fouls the water). When they are a bit bigger BS. Maybe ask the sponsors what "live" food they have.
