I have no idea how big these babies are, but what about live baby brine shrimp? If you heat the water up to 85 or so they will hatch quicker.

when I had a baby cuttlefish, I went to the tidal zone and collected the sand fleas. I move rocks or seaweed and find thousands of little jumping amphipods. I used a shovel and scooped them up with sand and all and put them into buckets. be careful cuz they will crawl out of the buckets so keep the lids tight. when I needed some, I collected them from the sides of the buckets which they will climb up making it easy for you to catch. As soon as they are big enough, I had to switch to mysis but they WILL NOT go after food thats not moving. so a turkey baster to keep them in suspension is needed. It helps to isolate them into a smaller container.

opps just noticed in are you langdon AB not langton Vancouver island. Tidal zone will be difficult to find there! i would try the moving mysis technique. take them out of your tank if you can.... they will go after your fish if they get big enough.
