about 4" housed with some pbass. he is aggressive towards the pbass but doesnt eat much.

only eats a few pieces of frozen blood worm a day and thats it. he is getting skinny as the days goes by. i had him for about a week or 2.

i tried pellets (floating and sinking) flakes, market shrimp. hmm.... i dont know what to do.
 
you should start them off with pellets first that way they can get used to it.
worms shrimps etc. are treats not regular food.
 
if it keeps getting skinny, I'd consider the idea that it might have some internal parasite issues
 
Mine eats various foods.
If you have ruled out disease/parisites/water parameters I'd suggest switching it up.
My 2 eat shrimp, krill pellets, talapia, massivore, some sort of color enhancing pellets, and even algea wafers.
 
Im havin same trouble with my female gt. Im treating her with clout for the past 5 days and it dosent seem to be getting better. I know its internal parasites(white poo,not eating,hiding) but i just cant seem to fix it. This is the second female gt in a row that i had this happen.
 
My female GT was the same way, I bought her at an auction and she was pretty fat then.
I never really saw her eat for the longest time. When she does eat it is very small amounts.
I have had her for about 2 months and even though she doesn't seem to eat much she is still pretty fat.
she is roughly 4-5"
