how long have you had them for ? Sometime if they are new from the LFS, they take time to take on other foods. Also being so small, they might not need so much feeding or they later nibble off the floor. cheers jk :thumbup:

The krill and shrimp will definitely attract the fish to the food because of the strong smell they both have.

I've tried it with my 137's. I drop some freeze dried krill in and they come up to the surface to eat it. Plus when you open the can it makes your whole house smell like crap lol
