Try feeding them fresh green veggies too! Sounds like you have a bunch of

Subject: NANFA-- Feeding Dwarf Crayfish "Fry"
> I have two spawns of dwarf crayfish, Cambarellus shufeldtii, that were
> recently released from their mothers' tails. The little ones (sorry, I
> don't know the terminology for crustaceans) are all in a bare 10 gallon
> tank with a sponge filter. There is some algae, detritus and Java moss in
> the tank. I'm experimenting with different feeds. One feed that I can
> confirm is working is live, baby brine shrimp (BBS). Since the Artemia
> (BBS) are pink, I can see that the stomachs of the tiny crayfish have
> turned pink, so they are feeding. These crayfish are about 3/16 of an
inch
> long (5 mm). You can see photos of adult dwarf crayfish at
