I feed mine. when i'm feeding mysis i make sure I squirt a bunch their way.

You don't have to feed them, but I find they grow faster and the colors look better if you do.

Yep. You don't have to feed it but like bad coffee said I also give him pieces of krill and mysis. I have seen a huge difference in growth.
