90 gallon stocking issue

Thanks a lot, my tank set up is a little more bare then what i normally do but these guys seem to enjoy the space. I was gonna put more live plants but I heard they aren't too fond of that many plants, having trouble feeding them nls because they are wild caught maybe I should entice them with blood worms or pe mysis

They will shred and eat a lot of different live plants, but certain types they will leave alone.

Pellet training can be a challenge with any wild caught adults unfortunately. They will definitely destroy bloodworms and shrimp. In the meantime while you work on pellet training, you can just blanch some romaine lettuce or zucchini for veggies and feed market shrimp, brine/mysis shrimp, or bloodworms for protein.

I just picked pe mysis and one took a liking to it, their fins are a bit frayed idk if it's from the stress of being shipped or if I should treat for infection or what the case may be?

If it's stress related aggression, the damage should progress no further. Just keep the water extra clean and add aquarium salt at a ratio of 1 tablespoon per 10-15 gallons. That will help them heal.

If it progresses to get worse, keep an eye out for an aggressor or it could possibly be fin rot. If it gets worse, take a good picture of the fins and post it in the disease/health section. Someone there could tell you for sure if it's fin rot or not.
