There is a great primer in the poly section that definitely should be read. But for now mine eats brine shrimp, bloodworms, pellets but loves pieces of krill. Hope this helps and welcome and pics of the guy are now a mandatory requirement.

He will do fine in a 30 gal, but bigger is better. He should be fine with an oscar, but make sure the oscar doesn't eat all the food before the bichir gets some.
