But they are also filter feeders as are adult BS.  So you can gut feed them 
for a day with HUFA, Spirulina powder, Krill powder, or Astaxanthin powder 
and get the best of both worlds, roughage and nutrition.  In my hands adult 
BS or Daphnia gut fed with HUFA plus one of the other things I mention are 
every bit as effective at giving higher egg output as bloodworms.  I use both 
for conditioning. alternating each day as a second feed after a morning feed 
of BBS.
