I agree with Bob. My only experience is with Kribs, but they seem to thrive in an older established algae ridden tank. On another note, I don't even bother with live BBS any more. I have been using Brine Shrimp Direct's Non hatching Brine Shrimp Eggs for about 10 months and they're great. I start feeding them when they are 5 to 6 days old and they thrive on them. What is really funny is to see a tank of full grown kribs go after the eggs when I squirt them into their tank. They go crazy trying to catch them all. I have been raising kribs for about a year now with no live food at all and they are doing fine.
