My Cons bread recently and its a first for me. they are in a 150Gtank with about a dozen other cons. the yolk sacks are now gone and I was trying to feed them brine shrimp today but to little avail. as soon as the shrimp hit the water the other cons snapped it up. I have a 20G tank to move them to and I heard syphoning is the best way. tried it but I couldnt get any of them. any help is appreciated
 
yep, siphon or a net, will do. feed them crushed tetra jumbo sticks.
 
I was told to feed brine shrimp are the crushed tetra jumbo sticks better? I have frozen brine shrimp I have tried thawing it out and putting in the tank but like I said above the other fish eat it the instant it hits the h20. mynext attempt is a net I guess but I think its gonna be tough the tank is 3 ft deep on a 34" stand not easy to catch anything in. my GF likes it cause when I do have to its a circus lol I hide the video camera though now so she doesnt get any brainwaves. any other suggestions
what do you use to syphon I tried my gravel vac would just the hose work better? I have 1/2" and 5/8 ID hose
