Very nice, be careful of those spikes. Next concern you may have is that your mega may starve for a few days or weeks, depending on their own characteristics, it is normal. Mine starved for a week before I saw it eat from the safety of its corner, which I block it from total view of its surrounding using a driftwood. Takes another week before it start coming out for its meals

I feed mine pellets mostly, but I've heard for the best growth, feed lots of snails. I breed physa acuta, pond snails and they rarely last until the next morning.
Good luck, and if you have to move it, don't use a net.

Also make sure what decorations u have in there you want to be in there permanently because they lodge themselves in small crevices and hold their fins out to hold themselves in. Also like others say they are rarely seen and don't eat all the time
