I posted a couple months ago (original threads at bottom), had 8 one inch dats, could NOT get them to eat bloodworms or anything of the sort.
Well, still all they'll eat is krill :irked:, but they've been growing well.
We actually ended up with 16 of them at one time. One died because he just refused to eat anything, and there is one that just doesn't eat as well as the others, however he's fairly healthy, that leaves us with 15.
Besides the one poor eater who is a bit smaller than the rest, they're all around 2 inches long now. Most of them will eat out of your hand and they will wait at the front of the tank to be fed.
Here are a couple of pics of the biggest ones sitting underneath their driftwood.

Very nice.

I have the same problem with two of my NTTS. They won't touch anything other than live fish and krill...and so the battle continues.
 
nice... they look like mine :D
 
Thanks :D

Yeah, we figured "oh, there's 15 in there, one will eat something else and the rest will catch on". Nope. Apparently they like krill way too much.
When they're bigger we may try fasting them for a couple days and trying more foods, but right now they're still so small we don't want to risk losing any more.
