bloodworms work at the start. they might be shy and not eat for awhile. for mine, i gave him a log and put the frozen bloodworm. he ate the first night i got him too.

Try bloodworms and as they grow you can try tilapia, silversides and even pellets. Mine are about 8-9 inches and eat anything.

I would get them feeding on pellets. I prefer Hikari sinking carnivourous pellets. Also mine eats shrimp pellets and loves worms. Night crawlers or red worms. Dont be worried if they dont eat right away. Mine took some time.
Also, dont get knifes eating on one thing. They can be a pain to switch over if they get the taste of only certain foods. Good luck with them and post some pics!
