What was he eating before you got him. Maybe that is what you will have to do. Also try feeding after the lights are out.

im thinkin the snapping at others could be due to hunger

It would take you 7-9 days for it to settle down and eat. Try dimming your light or light one side of the tank only. Feed massivores and diced up tilapia.

In two weeks it should stop nipping but nipping is normal for large bichirs. Keep an eyes on your smaller fish.
