Try some smelt. I just got a marbled pim yesterday about 12in. The store had him on feeders and said they couldn't get it to eat anything else. I tryed it and he at three now he is fat an lazy.

Also try to hand feed it if you already haven't tryed. That is what I had to do to get it to eat the smelt.

He should have eaten pretty much all of those things. You might want to investigate parasites or infections. Also, try feeding him with the lights off and at night. They are pretty shy in the daytime.

try blood worms fish,meat of any type I agree if you are not seeing it eat turn off the lights 7 let it get cozy.

it finally ate a few hours after i moved it to a different tank. the water is a little bit warmer. and the filteration is better. i guess that was the problem. thanks for everyones suggestions.
