Crush pellets and chop food very fine. PE frozen Calanus has worked well for these captives for me. It’s very small and fish seem to like it. Call your LFS to see if they have it? I have even seen it at Petco.

Live pods would be another thing to try.

These tiny fish have no reserves and need to eat often, feed 4-6 times a day.

I would grab a variety of frozen food. Maybe the calanus, formula 2, Hikari mega marine angel, San Fransisco bay frozen angel and butterfly formula... etc.

Small particles, omnivore food. Also order a small bag of the tiniest TDO chroma boost pellets.
