I think that vents are carnivorous when it comes to keeping tads together but I feed mine a spirulina based fish food which I crush into a dust and sprinkle into the container and then tapping it a bit so it doesn't remain on the surface of the water. I also put a little bit of Java moss in each container for a spot to hide as they get bigger. Not sure if they feed on this as well.

I wanted to follow up on this thread. As I said in my previous post, I have always just used a spirulina based food with my tads of vents and imitators for years but after going to the recent mid-atlantic meeting I found that some people do give a more protein based diet using bloodworms as frogface mentioned and even going so far as to drown ff's and let the tads munch on them. I am definitely going to do some experimenting with a few different foods. You are never too old to learn something new.
