I'd try feeding him. The worst thing that happens is you have to clean up some uneaten food.

target fed him some blackworms. he was a little slow to go to them but eventually tented over. pretty sure he was eating them but didnt want to turn the lights on. he then cruised around a little it before letting him go for the night. thinking it was a successful first night. we'll see. i just hope he keeps the same amount of spotting because its more than ive seen on most motoros.

in regards to water change schedules, is 25% daily too much?
 
I drip approximately 10 percent of total water volume per day.
 
he seems to be happy swimming along. seems to eat all the blackworms that i target feed to him though sometimes the squirter seems to scare him so he's a little slow to them. i'm just looking forward to him fattening. will probably hold my water change back one day to make sure he's acclimating nicely
 
he's eating all the blackworms i get to him. swims around searching constantly to the point im feeding 3-5 times a day. my plan is it go a few weeks on blackworms and then mix black worms and trout worms. i'll soak some small pellets in with the blackworms to see how he goes for that. so far i have kept the light off. he gets probably 6-8 hours of natural sunlight but i was figuring i'd give 1 week to acclimate before getting the light going on a consistent schedule. does anyone have any other ideas or is anything i'm planning not the best approach? thanks
