My Keyholes have spawned again. I'll try to raise some this time once they have hatch and are free swimming. What would a good diet be?

I've had a play with the GoPro video software today, I quite like this. I'll do more like it.

Keyholes will generally spawn on a flat stone. I had it happen a few years ago.
Good luck.

They've dug a pit and spawned on the base of the tank. The female goes so white when they spawn.

Good luck! :)
You might try very small food like cyclops or microworms.
If at first you don't succeed....
...get someone else to do it! :D

Enjoy your fish, shrimps and snails!

Annoyingly, to raise them I'll need to empty the live food store that I started. I'll move some of it into a plastic tub that I have that can hopefully have enough to start then off.

I’d use frozen lobster eggs for a week, then add grated ‘normal’ frozen foods and crushed dried foods.
I don't keep fish, I keep water. Water keeps fish.

Thanks! Handily I bought some last weekend. I usually stock up when I see them as they're not always available.
