They're nocturnal. So your best best is to feed at night. Eventually, it'll become bold enough to eat during the day and in front of you. How long have you had it now?
A couple weeks I will put flakes in there he will suck them up then spit them back out and completly ignores the bloodworms
When did you put him in?
If you recently acquired him, he might still be shocked from the change in surroundings. However, if you're feeding him during the day, he will definitely not eat since he's nocturnal.

I feed my fish when I wake up and before I go to sleep I check in every now and then to make sure they are eatting he has been in there a couple days but he was doing the same thing before just eatting a couple peices of the flakes he stays in the back right corner of the tank and hides in or around the 5 holed rock I have which normaly the red tail sharks in but he scares the shark away every time he goes in this tanks not for long I am getting a 90 gallon tank for him and try and get some good tank mates for him also
mine hides in a black tube and will feed from there with no problems .. will not feed anywhere other then that spot .. but it has learned that when it goes there ... a whole block of blood worms is going to come for him ..
he waits there a lot
he waits there a lot
I was thinking about picking up some frozen blocks of brine shrimp If I were to give him small pieces seams hes only 2" do you think he would eat those?
try small ghost shrimp my bgks love them and small peices of market shrimp mine loves those also just some thoughts
