Chris- try some frozen foods like bloodworms and brine shrimp. Those are pretty small.

he will be fine on flakes for now, you sure he'll be alright with those aggressive/larger fish?

Don't use flakes no matter what size he is. Flakes are too small and you'll need to feed a lot more of them just to get the nutrition of 1 pellet. Get him started on small pellets now, mine took medium pellets at 3".
