3 inch isn't eating

My CFK isn't eating and I've tried giving him pellets, bloodworms, and even live fish. He won't take a bite!

Tankmates?
Tank size?
How long have you had him?

Shrimp, earthworms is my suggestion..

Try shrimp, and if he dosen't take that, add some garlic to the shrimp..

P.S, hope you have plans to upgrade.

Try leaving the light off on the tank. He is likely stressed by being new in the tank.
