THey will take about 4 months to mature (though it can happen much sooner). Finely crushed flake food will work but if you would like, microworms, vinegar eels, daphnia monia, bbs (baby brine shrimp) are all great live foods that you can culture and feed easily. Vinegar eels take awhile to culture though. Microworms can be cultured from a starter culture in about a week. Go to http://www.livefoodcultures.com to see what you like. The net has plenty of resources on these foods and different techniques of culturing them. Good luck and congrats on the spawn.
