They'll eat pretty much anything from flake food to freeze dried goods. The 3 SAEs I have in my 55g all started out as tiny buggers like yours. They're easily 4-5" long now. They are total food hogs that try to gobble up everything they can at tank feeding time. I'd try to avoid wardley brand in the future. They tend to be a bit on the poor ingredient side.

i did do research on the care but i have a bunch of algae so i thought he would eat that.but now i know that he will eat all the algae by next week or next month so i know that i have to find another food for him to eat.
