Redworms, scuds, small crickets/grasshoppers, blackworms, if you feed them small minnows or crawdads you must quarantine them for a couple of weeks to make sure they have no parasites or diseases.
 
you probably get them to eat just about anything, i would try sinking or floating pellets, if you can get them to eat that it will be a lot easier for you and you can supplement live food.

minnows they love minnows, really about anything will do
 
oh and troubleshootn I like your quote, having takes you have to scuba dive is fun. I had to do that before to a 26,000g and 13,500g tanks as well as 7500g:headbang2
 
What size are the "hybrids"? Redears usually have bars when they're young. Do they have the (bluegill) black spot at the end of the dorsal fin?
