Thanks a ton Canadiancray, good advice, i'll go chop up a potato right now and start soaking it. I didn't have any peas in the house so potato will have to do, is the bottom feeder discs the wrong food for these guys?

Besides crushed flakas and wilted lawn clippings do you think they could handle some algea wafers or maybe even the homemade ...
