Post ur water parameters. Would add some prazipro. Won’t hurt ur beneficial bacteria. What was it fed prior? How big is the rtc and current tank? Tankmates? Suspect just settling into the tank. Should eat very soon.

Fish aren’t meant to digest terrestrial animals even if boiled. Would try a pellet of some sort if it’s showing interest.

Boiled chicken is a ok treat, not a staple tho.

Just start with some earthworms or cut fish bits.
