I feed all my dendro, target feeding every single head once a week with chop up raw shrimp meat. Even the baby heads. They grow fine and open during the day. If you want rapid growth feed them once about 4-5 days. But you have to remember it is very often that they over eat. If you over feed them and the older food that was still inside starts to rot, they will die within. BUT REMEMBER! Never throw away their skeletons because 90% of the time dendro babies will come back on the bones.
