They're so TINY! How do you feed them? Do you use a liquid, or what exactly?

Awww! That's awesome! You know, I found that once mature DPs start dancing the tango, they just don't stop. If you have the tenacity to inspect vacuum after vacuum, and if you let it, you'll have tank after and tank of fry!!! But I found the problem was feeding them just after they're at that stage when they're kind of half-zooming around and plunking on the glass with their 'sticky-head' -- I think they need microworm/vineagar eel-sized (live?) food. I had a whole bunch grow up nice and strong just on the planaria I could catch spewing from the output of the canister filtre I had on a heavily planted 30g.
