A fluval filter will filter as little as 3 -4 inches of water.

They are really hardy, so no substrate won't affect them. I feed mine commercial food, too, and it eats it without any problems. You probably want to vary it's diet over time, with stuff like chicken livers and other food items. Mine eats when it feels like it, whether I'm watching it or not, but they usually eat at night in the natural settings, so it may wait til then.
