What does your Potter's eat?

There's much talk about Potter's angels on the boards and a few people who seem to have had some luck with them. Whether you've had and lost one, got one at the moment or ideally, have had one for...

Many thanks. How quickly would a culture likely grow? How many nauplii do you think you'd have to manually remove in order to create a self sustaining culture?
