OK here is the short term feedback on the situation. Thank you Bill for the info, your right these guys must have just came out of the yoke stage, there about 1/2 inch long. They are just getting there color but all there features and fins are there and there good little swimmers.

Here is what I did, the first feeding I sprinkled a little powder food on the top but they wernt very interested. Just a few min ago I mixed the powder and the pulverized krill and picked up a pinch and rubbed it together under the water between my fingers. I stepped back and watched them, some definatly looked like they ate something, I could be wrong not sure but then my bass fishing experiance told me to shut the light. As soon as I turned the light out the bass imediatly went to the bottom and started picking at the bottom so I assume it was specks of food.....

I dont have many options to move them around. I have a 20 gallon tank with 2 small filters, then in that is where I put the baby pen. There should be pretty good filtration but no real strong water movement more of a gentel movement. I could prob do something to increase the movement during feeding.

So that is the short range report. I will get back and post something more tomarrow. Also gonna make a food brew mixing your and Theos suggestions.
