wont need food for a few days as have egg sack.
they like the fine ground baby food you can buy , artemis eggs (those with shells off) , crushed flakes, microworms as well as grazing off mature tank sand and gravel and plants and things for infusoria etc. I always have a few golden apple snails as these are supposed to produce infusoria too.

People:hi:

The ones I put in the trap hatched but didnt last a day:(. The ones on the mop in there own tank have hatched and seemed to be doing well:D

Interesting that now the adults are in there own tank which has lower temp they seem to spawn constantly.

Cheers

Out of about 3 spawns with C121's the only succesful one i had was when i transfered them into a plastic dish with meth blue.

if you have to youe M blue for sucess I guess you are getting fungus? try adding soem cherry shrimp to the tank they will keep tank free of fungus, or try uv light?

Nope. Just soaked them in hot water a few times and then lobbed them in the tank and the sank to the bottom. I still get eggs on other things but the majority end up in the mop.
