Thanks Ryan! It's time for an update!

I have good news! I've discovered their favorite food, nutramar ova! Mysteriously, they're not liking the mysis (LA had them listed as taking brine and mysis). They were definitely eating at LA though, as they came in pretty fat.

I'm glad though, to have found a food they are willing to gorge on. I think that's half the battle. I'm going to keep trying other foods though, and press my luck

Sorry to resurrect this old thread but just wondering whether you had any long term success with these guys?

Thanks for your time!
