How do you breed scuds? I've been trying to recently but they've just all died except for a few, I have them in a tank with some snails and some moss, duckweed, and hornwort with a small HOB filter (came with the tank, it's a betta kit tank) and a sponge over the intake. I don't know what could be killing them off, but just about all of them have died. I've also heard you can collect them in the wild, how would one do that?

Maybe add some dead leaves and try adding in some fish pellets(sinking) every couple days. I think that they eat the mulm that accumulates off of the leaves and the pellets themselves. You can try but I don’t really have ang experience with this myself.

Already have algae and leaves in there, but I'll add more
