This is a true story - I have a spoiled rotten approximately 14" featherback that is having difficulty eating. He doesn't have the healthiest diet - he refuses live fish, cut fish, live shrimp - easier said is he will ONLY eat San Francisco Bay blood worms. All other brands are beneath him and he will refuse food up to 5 days if I try to feed him another brand (which was necessary when the product was scarce due to covid) If I manage to slip in a piece of fish, he gets pissed and comes around like he's going to eat only to snub his nose and circle around again, tempted to eat the bloodworms, but still too mad I betrayed his trust to not throw a temper tantrum. Usually will eat nothing else that night and very cautiously the next night. I understand he has a poor diet, but idk what to do about that. I hope his diet is not the cause, but as you can see, he's a ridiculously picky eater!
The last 2 nights he has had difficulty eating. He will take the cube from my hand, but as he works it down, most of it is spit back out. He will continue trying to eat, but most of it comes back out like there's some kind of blockage. Otherwise, his behavior is normal. Any ideas how to help or what to do?
