feed them everything that is small. Mine love Fauna Marin foods and Cyclopeeze. I feed auto and the only thing that seems to straight up kill them fast is Nitrates above 15ppm. I have lost several when I used to get spikes up to 20 ppm even if it was for only one day.

I think a sudden change in any parameter is what kills them, not necessarily a high nitrate level in itself. A sudden drop can kill them too. My nitrates are 25+ continuously and I've had it for a couple years :0 They seem very sensitive to temperature changes.
