I've just got hold of some frozen cyclops as this is what Jo fed the babies. So, tonight I put it in the tank and I had no idea how small it was. Firstly how do they actually get to eat it because it's just floating around in the tank gradually being sucked into the filter, so the filter is going to get it before they do!
What's the trick to this?

Well I still haven't seen them eat, and I know I am over feeding just to be sure they have plenty so it is hard to tell, however I an vacuuming plenty of poop up with the left over food in the mornings so they must be having their fill!
At what point to the babies stop hiding quite so much?
Also how much do they grow - is there a chart somewhere that shows sizes at different ages?

The best views that you will get of zebs is tails hanging out of caves, give them plenty of cover that you can see under like ledges next to caves and so on then you will see them when they think you cant, a happy pleco is one that is hiding just out of sight
