Wonderful! Sooner or later i'd like to keep this species, so if you have any interesting details about how you got it to eat, please do tell!

I think i was just lucky to find one that was already eating live goldfish/minnows at the store. After a month of feeding the live fish using tongs he got used to me. So i replaced the live food with freeze dry krill and then pellets.

Also I think what helps is the pvc pipes and also being the only one in the tank.

Good luck.
