all the babies are still going strong however i have not seen them eat  :? .  i add crushed spiralina flake and even tried adding a rock with a fine algae covering to the breeder net. what do people feed their baby tropheus? because im sure it would be the same diet.
thanks if anyone can help i dont want these little guys to die.
