Freshwater Dolphin

[stallion150]

Hi all---finally got my hands on a freshwater dolphin (mormyrid)--he's gorgeous, about 6 inches. Just got him yesterday, unfortunately the aquatics store wasn't sure what to feed him, since he just arrived.

I tried bloodworms but since they are nocturnal have not seen him actually eat yet--does anyone know what diet to feed these fish?

Thanks.

PICS? Bloodworms would be a good start for feeding.

I got him from a local fish store in Raleigh, NC---the owner said he hadn't seen one in 15 years--He's about 6-7 inches, and buying price was $49.99--given its rarity, i guess that was a decent price.
