As you can see I have a good amount of algae in my tank. They are constantly grazing on the infusoria living on it. I also give them a little squirt of the smallest size of Golden Pearls every couple hours. They look like a school of sharks in a feeding frenzy when I feed them! I will be ramping up a daphnia culture to give them a good growth spurt once they're big enough to eat them.
Mom and Dad are very attentive. They herd them from one depression in the sand to another all day long and go into a panic when the little ones get too near the filter intake. Any that they can't steer fast enough are grabbed up in their mouths and spit into the pit they have in mind.
