you need to keep food in their face at all times when they are that
small. They onlt need a really small (tiny) space to make sure they can get extablished. As for dead minnows. mine don't really eat anything that's not living. Since they are so small you can feed them some quality pellets, but count how many you put in and leave them alone. I would take out any uneaten sticks or pellets and them put fresh ones in until you notice that they are eating them.
The key is to make it stupid easy for them to have a fish swim into or through their mouth with NO EFFORT. They're not hearty enough yet to wait, or work for the food.

Pics?

Good Luck!
