Just wait, he'll eat once he gets hungry enough. You can also try putting frozen food onto a string and dragging it through the water to make it look like it's live food. I'd suggest putting in pellets or a multivitamin like vitachem to add more nutrition to the frozen food.
Thank you i will definitly try it and I usually soak the frozen food in water with multivitamin droplets because he is only 6 cm (2inch) so the frozen food is pretty small.
However i will keep it in mind for when he is bigger.
Ok, it's definitely good you're doing this while he is small as when he is larger he can go weeks, sometimes even months without eating and when he gets larger it will get expensive feeding him live food. If he is only two inches I guess you could pick up a small feeder fish, gutload it, then freeze it or pith it and tie a string around it and drag it through the water to see if that gets his attention
I breed mollys, swordtails and guppys but they dont reproduce fast enough which is why i would like him to eat frozen foods.
Ps: he is eating fine right now, the tips very useful after about a day or 2 he started chasing the food.
