No but I'm sure they would go for it. Have you? I really want to raise some wingless fruit flies and feed it to them I feel these thrive on most live or dead foods. Pretty much a scavenger. I only have one 40 gallon sponge filter that's in this 10 gallon tank. May add another.
No never tried.

@opae ula related[/color][/usermention] I will get the video posted this week.

I can catch my berried females. I have a breeder box that should be able to separate the babies one they are free. Now I've had quite a few berried females. I've never seen any free floating babies. I'm assuming that they've been eaten. Bottom right is the berried female. You can see the dark spot of eggs.

I just pulled up the sponge filter & at the same time stuck my net under it. I've added more rocks to the tank so trying to catch the specific berried females will be difficult. I'm thinking I'll add another sponge filter in there shortly.

Cool way.
