I have a 5" fahaka also. He has one tank mate, but I don't expect he will for long. Definitely try a crawfish. Mine loves shrimp. I try to give him shrimp heads, but more often it's just a piece of flesh.. He loves both. I always get pest snails when I buy feeders from the lfs, but that isn't often. Mine only eats the faces and tails of feeder fish when that's all I've got on me to feed him. I would definitely remove any fish that you don't want killed asap. Especially ones that require you to feed live. Get him by himself. Have the tank full of snails.. If he doesn't eat for 5 days or so add a crawfish or something else like that. Mine even eats pellets.
