Thanks guys for the suggestions. I've heard praises for microworms etc. for the first 2 weeks or so, but afterwards they'll need more solid food. Wish I had some Daphnia that'd be perfect. Anyoen here think newly hatched mosquito larvae would be appropriate?
I have two left from the first batch going strong. I suspect they were the youngest and came into feeding mode when I began successfully hatching the BBS.(for the first to hatches I tried to play cheap and use some eggs that had been out of storage for a time). The others must have been starved beyond no return. A remarkable example of convergent evolution(or whatever you think explains that...nc), though they seem to be almost wannabe fish fry. :) The remaining two are eating brine shrimp as their bellies are fat but are far less active and successful in their pursuit of BBS.
Btw, jays...have you any comparisons between banana worms and the more traditional micro/walter worms? I understand walterworms last longer underwater than microworms. Are bananaworms really worth the trouble to obtain if one already has/is getting the usual worms?
