got him 4 days ago. Have not intentionaly feed him anything yet. Got some silversides in the freezer. When should I feed him? He’s doing great in his new home and seems to settle on a location. Every day he seems to be getting brighter and bigger
 
I prefer to buy foods that feed my fish and inverts and do this by feeding frozen food over a powerhead so is dispersed everywhere. Feeding anything its own food ime leads to having to do more work to keep nutrients down. Imo anyway.
 
I would not feed silversides, way too many people have had bad experiences, myself included.

Smaller filter foods like mysis are much better, but I would not feed a new to tank nem for a couple weeks, and really w/ good lighting you don't even have to spot feed.
 
I got my first one 2 weeks ago. I been feeding it small slices of frozen shrimp twice a week. It's looking very healthy and hasn't moved around to much.
