What live foods to feed tiny catfish?

[Crepe]

I have a small collection of small cories and microsynodontis that I'm breeding (cories are a success, not micros though). Right now they're on a diet of NLS thera A and wafers. I would like to throw in some live/frozen foods but daphnia are too light to get to the bottom and bloodworms are far too large, they won't even take them when I chop them up. What's a good food to find?

Fish are anywhere between .8"-1.5". Cute little bugs.

What about baby brine shrimp? They're easy enough to hatch. The downside is that they don't last too long once they hatch, so you have to do small amounts frequently if you only have a few tanks you're feeding.

Microworms are great, tiny, easy to culture, and sit on the bottom.

SF Bay brand (I think) offers a smaller blood worm. You could try that, or black worms, white worms, vinegar eels, gammarus shrimp or very young RCS shrimplets. All can be cultured, some are easier than others to find and maintain though.

I think daphnia would work.
