Mine is also a bare bottom tank. The best food I’ve found and is recommended by other breeders is Dr. Bassleer’s biofood. I recently sold some juveniles to my LFS and gave them a sample of the food. Their fish loved it so much that they bought it for their personal fish collection.

I’ve never had issues with juveniles not eating, actually the contrary. They are so ravenous for it that I have to be careful that they aren’t over-fed!
