When I had one I just mixed everything (pellets, nori, mysis) in selcon and some of the tropic marin suppliments. Within a couple of days it was eating everything including pellets. I got it nice and fat and moved it to my display, where it continued to eat like a pig. All along it never had ick ( I premedicated the QT with no sick fish Ick remover). A couple of weeks later in the display it was doing well and then in a span of about 8 hours or less it started breathing heavy and then slowly started to turn sideways and then died by evening. Never did find out what it was, as not symptoms, but it was suggested that it may have been flukes. Never tried one again.
Good luck with yours
