I have one -- about 3 months now, and he's doing great.

After a bunch of research (before I obtained mine) I found that they are primarly meat eaters so what I did is the following:

I purchased mussells at the store and split one open enough for the CBB to get it's nose into, but the other fish could not.

I then attached the mussel in a place where teh CBB frequented and hoped.

Sure enough he figured out there was food there and then started returning regularly to his feed station.

I have since updated the feeding station with a "worm feeder" (a conical shaped object with a suction cup to attach to the glass). I put a bit of mesh on the top and put food in there (he will pretty much eat anything meaty (shrimp, squid, mysis, mussels)). He can peck at it and the other fish can't get at it.

You can see it attached to my front glass if you go to my web site, go to the tank cam page and move the camera all the way to the left (you'll see it there).
