I feed them spirulina just few times a year. I only feed when there are low/less algae on the glass. Otherwise I don't feed them. I break the spirulina table into smaller pieces. I only feed one of the small piece at a time. They usually finishes the piece in less than 24 hours.

The first batch of babies (for this year) are floating upside down. Not sure why they all hang out on the left side of the tank. Probably coincidence. Video taken on Apr 24th 2018.
