Why on earth would you wanna feed them bananas they are probably on of the most predatory species. They do well on processed fish food supplemented with meal worm and other little bugs. You can also drop in the occasional guppy or other small fish. (Please don't even consider this if you are squeamish)

And you claim to have been a hobbyist for years in previous emails to me - is that right? You sound like you have maybe been doing this for about 2 months (if that).
Their diet is a Carnivorous one - not even Omnivorous.

Probably not a good idea to feed him bananas, but you could try fresh shelled peas or lettuce. They like green leafy veggies. :)
