you are going to have to feed him frequently. They are slow to feed and other fish are likely to steal their mysis.

What size tank is he in? Best bet is to be sure there is a healthy population of pods in your tank for him to eat because they are constant grazers and will be extremely difficult to keep alive on mysis alone.
