They are NOT fully aquatic. Mine spends maybe 1/2 his time on top of his rocks and the other half in the water. He has ghost shrimp as buddies and he doesn't seem interested in eating them that I can see.
eh, i was gonna post with some helpful links, but then i saw the original posts are from 2005. I'll post the info anyway if someone is interested, but maybe this should be moved to the terrarium section.

If anyone's interested in this old thread, mine loves it when I give him a brocolli floret. He eats a piece of krill every 3 days or so. Sometimes, I'll give him some fish or chicken (or a bite off of a hot dog) now and then. I hear they love mangos, too, but haven't tried that yet.
He's escaped twice and I've found and caught him both times. Best method for catching one, I've found, is to corner him somewhere and throw a towel over him. Then scoop him up into a large jar and slowly pull the towel away. Once, I had to flush him out from under the stove.
