Stop feeding him danios. They are a minnow and have thiaminase. At 2", he is ready for a diet of raw tilapia, raw shrimp and earthworms. Insects are nutritious if you can get him to eat them (mine won't touch them). Some people have been successful at feeding them pellets, but mine won't touch them either.

so I should just throw the rest of the danios into another tank and try to cut my shrimp small enough for him,how long should I starve him since he is so small
 
well good news I cut some tiny pieces of tilapia and threw it in his tank and he ate it I am very because I didn't want to feed live as a staple
