Use whatever you can to entice them to eat. They usually like bloodworms and baby brine shrimp.

At that size they should pretty much go for anything. Try some flakes or some tiny granules/pellets (maybe soak them first to avoid bloat). You can make some beefheart or buy it pre-packaged. They love that, too. Some will take chopped up mysis shrimp.

try feeding them new foods in the morning when their most hungry. thats usually helps. at that size they should eat anything, regular sized brineshrimp, beefheart, flake, small pellets.
