Feeding Wild Snakehead ?

[FishySense]

I got a wild caught channa Stewarti Karbi Anglong, so I was wondering can I feed him wild baby frogs , If yes then how should I quarantine and kill all the parasites, I will catch some from my garden and the shopkeeper said I can feed it freshly caught big size shrimps when I asked what about the parasites he said nothing will happen and from that I got suspicious and came here. I can certainly feed it live fish (not a goldfish), frozen fish and shrimps but I feel bit insecure about other options like live mealworms, earthworms , frogs etc as I had never feed it too any of my other fish .

his condition is pretty messed up but it's breathing, not hiding and observing me , so I feel like it can easily survive

Was the filter on the tank you put it in properly cycled? His mouth looks injured but his slime coat is milky as well. What are your water parameters?
Feed it whatever it will eat. Most likely will only take live foods as it’s wild caught. I wouldn’t be concerned about parasites cause the wild foods it was eating before you put it in your tank were not “cleaned” first

1.Yup 1000%,
2. well as it was caught by locals people who don't know much about fish and then sent to the retailer who quarantined them for some days to decrease the fatality rate for the buyers that's why it's like that, nothing wrong with my tank it's just that I need to add some water lettuce to make him more happy
3. Ph should be a bit acidic as I added the banana leaves for the snakehead
Well I got soo excited that I mistakenly put this guy in this aquarium instead of a smaller tank for better observation but the fish is doing great and he is showing signs of changing his slime coat, I know what I did was wrong but I won't repeat it again

THANK YOU
