Hi guys! Im rather new to the hobby (almost 2 years) and have been fortunate enough to not have sick fish until now because of a quarantine mistake on my part. My question is simple. What should I feed my fish? They are getting over an illness and appear to be doing well. They had ich and I am still treating the tank with salt for about another week before I stop adding it. They have no more spots but they are visibly underweight because they didn’t eat while sick. All of my fish are now eating without much issue. However, my green terror who is the tank boss only takes frozen brine shrimp. He shows interest in other foods but never takes a bite or spits it right out. I’ve tried soaking it in garlic but he still doesn’t care for anything else. Should I continue feeding him shrimp since he’s underweight? I know it’s suppose to only be a treat but he won’t eat anything else and he needs his strength to become completely healthy especially since he’s a juvenile at maybe 2-3 inches. . Or should I feed like normal and just hope he eats it?

Thanks for any help you guys have!

Would feed the shrimp so it gets a little size on. Then either food with pellet or crush some pellets and mix with the shrimp. Can use seachem focus to bind it.
