Are you talking about hand feeding or general feeding?

Just put some lettuce in there and they're start nibbling at it eventually.

When I got mine it wasn't used to lettuce but overnight it devoured a leave of romaine.

Now I throw in two leaves daily, as well as clippings from my planted tanks once a week.
 
IF you grow duckweed in some of your tanks and ponds you can feed that to the Goramys also. It costs nothing and they love it. I also feed them any extra fruit after I feed my pet birds and they love that also.

I have always been surprised at the amount of fish they eat. Mine go after chunks of makeral, smelts, trout and salmon when I feed the arrowanas, eels brycons and cichlids. My babies clean out a tank of guppies, small cichlids and goldfish if there are any in the tank when I put them in.

I rotate my fish in 120's and 180's when I do a thorough cleaning of a tank. I always keep shoals of small fish in large predators tanks.

Here are a couple more pics. The shoal of Myleus schomburgki are 12".
