dsaundry - they are a good size. I'd say they are at least two inches long. So far I've tried mysis shrimp, brine shrimp, and krill. The krill seemed to bring the best response, but there was no obvious feeding. I've been staying back from the tank when I feed them - and with the krill I used a turkey baster and waited until one of them was up in the water column before shooting the food into the current. He got excited, but didn't actually eat anything. Of the two, one is quite a bit more active while the other one has found one corner of the tank at the bottom and stays there most of the time. I'm a little worried because I thought I had bought tank raised fish (and I still may have) and so expected them to be familiar with this type of food. I'm hoping this is just new tank stress, and that it will pass quickly.
