Good luck!

See if another local hobbyist might have some gut-loaded brine shrimp or other kind of shrimp :-)!

Thanks. I actually don't know of any local hobbyists. There are no clubs in my area.
 
So he ate the brine shrimp again last night. showed no interest in live black worms. I am going to try again tonight with the worms.
 
If you can get some brine shrimp and give them a tank you can try gut-loading with spirulina powder and other stuff... Try adding live snails to the tank, too. If he doesn't eat them right away, leaving them in there for him to get curious and pick at isn't going to hurt him.
 
I do have some trumpet, pond, apple snails in the tank. The apple snails are kind of big I plan on breeding them once he goes into the main tank.
 
So he is starting to fill out nicely. He just started taking black worms on Saturday. Still not interested in clams or snails. he took two bits of cooked shrimp and ignored the rest. my Hopes are high that he is going to pull through. I am going to give him another week in his quarantine tank and hopefully next weekend transfer him to the main tank.
 
Thank you.
 
Now try and feed more solid food like shrimp or pick up a small live crayfish. They can't refuse a crayfish
