They will eat copepods (primarily harpticoid), small worms, small amphipods, and with some work frozen foods such as cyclop-eze, mysis and brine shrimp.

I would advise trying to wean them onto frozen or pellet. They sure can decimate a pod population.

If your lucky and have the patience, place them into a breeders box. Working with live brine allow them to assocaited it as food. Then start mixing in dead brine with live and slowly back off the live stuff until your total frozen. Add mysis into mix...work towards pellets...takes the longest, and sometimes you literally have to feed them with a pipette until they recognize it as a food source. Hope this helps.
