Just drop some before you switch off the lights & he'll snack on them. http://uk.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/s8xi5heh/my_photos http://www.deathbydyeing.org/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/corydoras/ Member of the Malta Aquarist Society - 1970. http://www.maltaaquarist.com

They get very large, potentially over eighteen inches, so make sure you know what to do with the fish as it grows. As for food, just about anything that sinks will be fair game. They will eat algae wafers and shrimp pellets, and especially relish live and frozen foods, if they make it past tankmates. These fish will also eat vegetables such as zucchini and cucumber. And when he gets to Heaven, to Saint Peter he will tell: "One more Marine reporting, Sir! I've served my time in Hell."
