First, don't get another fish. 1 is enough for a tank that size and he will outgrow it. Next read the Nitrogen cycle sticky on this forum. Its really important not to overfeed during "cycling". Also water changes are a must. You can try lettuce the size of large flakes, but if he doesn't eat it in 1 day take it out of the tank. Give your fish 8-10 hours of light a day. It doesn't have to coincide with the true day, so when you get home it can be "morning". A timer is an easy way to keep it consistant which will make him more comfortable.
