Bob, This is a tough one. I had the same problem to a lessor level with my babies last year. They didn’t stop eating altogether when I moved them to a new tank and feeding take setup but they cut way down on what they ate. It seemed to help somewhat when I used a tub that they couldn’t see through to feed them in. I also (to ease my worries somewhat) started putting small feeder goldfish in the housing tank. They couldn’t resist the chase (good exercise) and when they caught the fish it wasn’t nearly as messy. This supplemented what I put in the feeding tank and I knew they weren’t starving. Vickie
