I tried freeze-dried bloodworms, he may have gotten a few, but most ended up just getting old and moldy. They will eat a few, but not enough to sustain themselves as they are natural bottom feeders and will only come to the top for a quick time when feeding.
pssshh smart move on putting him in with angelfish, they are very agressive. whales have electric shock, so dont be suprised if you find one of em dead. move it into the 20 gallon, lucky the angels havent taken a shot at him already
@GirRoxSox2 Mormyrid fish such as the baby whale do not shock, they use very weak electrical signals to navigate through mucky waters. Only electric eels and electric catfish can generate enough electricity to cause a "shock". Angelfish can be aggressive, but almost never towards larger fish that hide during the day. And angels, normally only kill fish that they can eat. Unless you get the pair from hell, the angels will not kill anything larger than 2".
@pmarshall2006 they can, but they have special needs. These fish are nocturnal and chances are some won't eat when the lights are on. Also, these guys only eat frozen foods like bloodworms, glassworms, BS and mosquito larvae. I feed mine these four. When he was in the community tank he hid all day, and when I tried to feed him I had to use over a cube of frozen food a day to make sure he would get any after all my community fish ate it. You are better off with a species only or biotope tank

@GirRoxSox2 They do have the ability to use electric fields but are no where near to being able to generate enough for you to feel
