If he's eaten before there should be no need to force feed or try a million tricks.
His tank isn't open, there are coverings on the two mesh quadrants that don't have heaters on them. After reading the many replies on this thread, I am planning on re-securing those covers to make it more solid, and making a special cutout cover for the sides with heat. I cannot try live, it is not a viable option for me. I would not be opposed to adding more decor and increasing privacy, but I cannot change his tank.
