    All of the above minus goldfish.if it will take frozen foood silversides are a goood choice.they will eat fish and shrimp in the wild so that's what you should feed aswell. U may have to train it to eat the frozen stuff so be ppreppared to feed live a bit

    Best place for glass shrimp would be a LFS. They are super cheap and not overly nutritious so I give them to my N. wennerae for entertainment value only.
