Pat I imagine feed him whatever he'll accept. Although he gets huge so IMO feeders/market shrimp peices for now but eventually that guy should get market shrimp. He might even take pellets. Just see what you can get him to eat.

Getting him from HOT?

I saw yours on hold - saw them the last few times I went to HOT. I wanted to double check, though, that they are in fact Nile Perches. They look awfully a lot like the Korean/Chinese Perch types... maybe you want to get some confirmation before spending the $90 price tag.
I also wanted to caution you, also, that some of them did not look good today (Monday) so you might want to keep an eye on that.
