What is a good diet for them. I try feeding mine dry worms he doesn't eat them. He mostly eats shrimp and waffers. Any fresh foods he would like. Suggestions.

I take it the above are questions, nor orders

.
Your fish will almost eat anything from flakes to frozen foods.
If you want to feed frozen foods, you might try mosquito larvae, cyclops, artemia, you name it. I think your LFS will have some in stock.
If it doesn't like certain foods, you'll soon find out and - obviously - stop giving it to the fish.

Mine is in with Mal*wi C*****ds and when I feed them NLS Cichlid he is all over any pellet that touches the substrate.

Hope this helps!

Fresh prawns they love but dont over do them.
Feeding at night is the first key to feeding S.eupterus. Live bloodworms he/she wont say no to, also earthworms(left in a tub for 24 hours with 2mm of water to clean the pop out of them) are a real winner.
Cyclops and artemia I find are a bit small for these heavy feeders.
Hikari foods always go down well.
Tetra tabimin although not the best quality food there is somthing in there they cant say no to.
