freshwater dolpin (mormyrid) help

[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.

They have these all the time in my lfs. They eat bloodworms, tubifex worms, worms, brine shrimp. almost all live foods. They're called elephant noses around here.

That mormymid is probably an elephant nose.

There are many fish in the mormyrid family.
