They are hard to keep as they normally wont accept prepared foods.

Yeah, I've had 2 died and I called it quits on trying to keep them. The last one I had ate like a pig, but for no apparent reason died after 4 months.

I had one that lasted about 8 months... Eating Mysid and Bloodworms... One day his eye looked punctured, and infected... He died 3 days later..

you need to use a quarantine tank with a cbb so it is less stressful for him and you can experiment with different foods
they get stressed out very easy in the main tank with other fish and are harder to get to eat.
