Yes cycle it like a normal aquarium. They are carnivores so live and frozen foods work best. They are not very active like most fish so give them little hiding spots and caves for shelter. They also enjoy live plants.

I saw a video that showed if you find their hiding spot, that's where most of their poop is, so it's easier to vacuum.

Also seen they don't work with fish and sometimes their own species.

Cycling with a filter from an established will greatly help.
