Found a section of river with literally hundreds of them in it. Will be trying to catch them tonight. Anyone got experience with caring for ones .75"-1.125". Preferably something that can be bought at the petstore.

brine shrimp...bloodworms and blackworms...
for some reason daphinia is so small and goes straight in the filter....so id say brine and blood worms...but if you can get blackworms thats your best bet. also my darters HATE mysis shrimp...as a matter of fact blood worms and blackworms is all i feed.

I feed my small darters live blackworms. The little guys learn to bite and break off as much of a blackworm as they can handle. I buy the worms in bulk from Aquatic Foods (http://aquaticfoods.com/). Good service and great worms!
