I use to feed mine live blackworms.They use to pop out of the sand and ambush them.It was pretty cool.They were in a species only tank though.
I have one...I don't think they'll eat small fish. They're pretty small themselves. Anyways, I feed mine sinking wafers and flakes that fall to the bottom. They're VERY nocturnal. I've only caught mine swimming when I get home late from work and turning on the lights. They're not very active either. But they look cool and I like them.
i have a kneris bajo they spend most of their life buried some speices of banjo do not and stay above the sand,i actually lucked out on him seen his tail sticking out in a tank at the lfs told the guy i'll take it he did'nt have a clue what it was think he cost me 3 bucks
I have a Platystacus (eel tailed banjo) for more than a year now, and it was very shy and relusive to eat at first, but once accostumed it became an "anything-eater". It eats everything from the bottom of the tank, even in daylight hours. Try worms (any kind, especially earthworms if its size allows it) and small shrimps, and it will probably eat.

They can get fairly good sized, They will eat small fish but they love live brine fish and mysids as well as small wotms and minced worms or clams and shrimp meat, they are mainly nocturnal.
