Make sure that food is reaching the substrate, where they mostly eat. You can tell that they ate, because you can see the food in their stomach.
They will reproduce, you will see a large dark spot on the mothers belly. There will appear to be movement where the dark spot is, these are the babies. Just be carefuly not to kill them with gravel vaccuums.
Good luck.

you can use sinking pellets for this
