Mine has eaten pellets but now eats raw shrimp,fish filet and small fish.It gets along fine with the bigger fish in its tank.
Afer and congoensis are two different species. Congoensis are rarely exported. I used to have 3 but all died. They seem to grow smaller compare to afer. Mine only reach 12" but since I only have them for almost 2 years cant really tell for sure for max size. As my afers out grew them and reach 18-20"+. Temperment are the same and care are the same as afer and other featherbacks. The only difference between the two is the patterns. Afers have golden spots while congoensis have black spots.
I exported mine myself but Toyin used to have them too. I kept them with bichirs and other asian featherbacks. They just shoal with my afers.
