Mine eat everything...and are usually the hungriest acting fish in the tank....always swimming around, begging for food. I feed mine Tetramin Staple/Ruby flakes, shrimp pellets, sinking granuals(new-life spectrum food), frozen bloodworms, brineshrimp, mysis shrimp, and mosquito larvae. They also enjoy nibbling on the algae tablets that I feed to my algae eaters.
