I raised mine in a 5 gallon tank using an undergrave filter powered by air. They had no trouble finding food. Just a tiny pinch of golden pearls puts a lot of food in the water. I used live food too. Moina and rotifers.

Thanks! There's about 15 of them and would've been more. I blame myself. I totally forgot about them and the mom. So she mustve ate some in their larvae stage.

15 is a pretty good yeild, so don't kick yourself too much. Now the trick is to grow them up.
