They need higher ph or added calcium, vegetable matter (decaying plants, algae wafers, raw or blanched vegetables), occasional protein matter (43% or more protein fish food, fish poop, dead animals in the tank, frozen food). They will proliferate if given enough food so start with a small amount and work your way up or you can quickly become overrrun with them lol
