I had a hard time getting mine to eat at first, lost some, finally tried the growing algae on rocks and raw egg white and grind up fish food painted on rock dried in sun recipe on here and they were fine. they eat everything now. See Mats article link below, it's at the bottom third of page under how much to feed

and there are more feeding articles under shanesworld, just click on show all 45 and scroll thru to find them.
