P.s like to hide, alot! I would get a few plants to for them to hide in, mine really likes this castle I put in there for him to hide in. I found with my P. he doesnt like bright light, I had to buy a dimmer light as they are very skiddish fish they dont like to be in the spot light. P.s will eat almost anything. I feed mine convict babies/guppies/beefheart/groundbeef/brine shimp(his favorite). Please don't expect him to eat in front of you as he probably never will, I have had mine 2+ years now, and I have seen him eat once.

As for how big your tank is, Im bad with dimentions, my tank is a 66 gallon and I have 1 P. it in, they eventually end up getting the size of a dinner plate.

Hope this helps!

Thanx a lot for the information i worked it that i have about 230 litres of water in my tank. About the light i have a normal 1 metre light on the tank at the moment. The reason for asking about what to feed them, is cause they are being feed steak at the moment that i cut into strips.
