Or do they not eat live food? If they do what is the best way to introduce this to them when they are young.

I want them to eat shrimp and water insects etc.

Then in my opinion your asking for trouble.. africans cannot eat too much protein in their diet or they get bloat , and of course diseases from the other fish they eat... why would anyone want to feed live?????

If you want to feed a treat try some lettuce or cucumber(blanched first). Mine LOVE their veggies
