Wow they really have gotten bigger! Your diet for them must be just what they need.

The only time I've ever fed them was a pin head size bit of Spirulina mixed with tank water I put x3 drops onto the new rock before I left, just as a treat, other wise they only have the Algae growing in the tank. I've a back up of Algae growing in a glass sweet jar in SG 1.010 RO water on the window sill if the tank ever looks sparce but even with 1 Horned Nirite Snail the tank seems to be at equlibrium :grin3:

Not much to report, the hanging rock still favourite place and they're still eating and growing

I'd certainly recommend hanging a rock near the tank surface, there's always a few milling about in the tunnels, and on it. I hardly see them on the Lava rocks at all now :grin3:

there's at least 2 or 3 with eggs :grin3: which hasn't stopped them scooting about the tank and playing hard to photo
the hanging rock is still the favourite place
