Feed them appropriately sized foods as they grow, and ensure the tank water quality is good.

I find crushed flake food is good, as is newly hatched brine shrimp (or defrosted frozen brine shrimp napuli) or even f/t daphnia.

Feed often, and ensure it doesn't settle in the breeding trap, else this will make the water quality suffer.

Sorry, only just seen your reply.

Yeh, should be ok in the trap, until they get big enough. Might need to be transferred to something bigger if the tank mates they are to be put in with later, are too big, and might eat them.
