I have Ben feeding only dye free dog food at 22 percent protein with limited greens and fruit pieces. I covered the front of the aquarium with a towel and fed off the small female that was not bred( seemed like she might have been overly possessive) . Pinkies were born last night sometime in a wooden strawberry basket. I peeked behind the towel this evening and it appears that there are still live pinkies so I left them Undisturbed .
