I have had my softshells for a week now they are babies only about 2 inches in diameter. I can not get them to eat. The people I purchased them from recommended baby guppies or dried shrimp but they will not eat anything nor do they seem interested in eating. I am worried about them. We have a 30 gallon tank, a heat bulb as well as the UVB bulb, a filter and a place for them to bask (which they are not doing either)...Any suggestions to get them to eat please?????
