ok not sure if you already know this stuff and if you do I apologise but one thing they need is bogwood, they need it for their digestion so if you dont have any it might be a good idea to get some for your tank, also before you add the wood make sure you boil it first for a few hours in a big pan with plenty of water changes in order to get as many of the tanins out as possible ( remember to use a old pan as it might stain the insides) as for food they will eat certain typs of veggies like cucumber, zuchinie, mellon, mango, frozen peas. they also eat the alge wafers plus you can get catfish pellets, earthworm pellets and bloodworm pellets. by provideing a well ballenced diet you wil lkeep your boy very happy and healthy. oh and before I forget they poop alot!!!! long strings of the stuff!!!! so watch ur water peramiters for a few days/week for any changes.
