Thank you so much for replying and I hope you can help me
Alright, so Sri Lanka is very hot, but the real reason I asked is to know what your seasons are. Afaik, they're based mostly on monsoons, and don't really mimic the normal "winter-summer" cycle, which might make things tricky.
You might need a chiller. 28°C is way too high, and the higher the temperature, especially if exposed for a prolonged period of time, the bigger the chances of fungal infections. High temps make them ill, basically.
I believe he might take some insects, as to not starve itself to death (live, preferably, wiggling helps stimulate their appetite and hunting reflexes), but he will need cooler water, and ultimately, he will need his tank's temperature to mimic the seasons. Peaks during "summer" of 24-26°C tops, and lows of 14-18°C in winter.
Until you get a chiller, you could try frequently replacing "warm" water with colder water from your tap, but I don't know what yours nights are like, you can obviously not do this 24/7.
