At 4" it's still at the size to be dependent on the milk secreted by glands in the parents head. Best chance is to get it on small live fish (NOT GOLDFISH). I always suggest starting with them 8" or bigger.

What's your tank set up like? Color substrate? Lights? Water chemistry? Size of the tank? Tank mates?
