2 month old babies

[~]

so I have 25 babies that I think are around 2 months old, I have been feeding them brineshrimp this whole time and I find them nippy, ready to eat 24/7 . my question is When are they ready to upgrade in food ? the other day I found them attached to each others leggs, so Im thinking that it is the perfect time to start feeding them frozen bloodworm,
any suggestions on changing their diet , AT this young stage in their lives ..

I think blood worms are fine You can cut them up a bit if you think the worms are to big. How long are your babies? When they are young they are a bit nippy they will grow out of it.

The ideal food at this stage is whiteworms or chopped blackworms. For 25 babies it might be worth mail-ordering blackworms if you can't get them locally (an order costing ~$25 could easily last for a month or more). It's possible to wean them to frozen chopped bloodworms, but this food is somewhat more error-prone. Considering that larvae generally prefer food that moves, they might still tend to munch on each others legs.
