I don't own one currently but, pods only. I never really cared/needed for it to eat prepared.

I had 2 in a 34 gallon and moved them to a 55. I say had 2 because 1 jumped out of the tank last week. Both the spotted and the Green ate bryne (frozen and live), bloodworms, and more. The green even started to go after flakes on the top. Both were fat and happy. Spotted still is. He is such a pig. Green was the jumper.
