Juranese not eating

[mshill90]

Ok, so I have not been having luck with Juranese cats at all...

I had 3 about 3" in size, and 2 died from starvation, and 1 is getting very close.

The only tank mates are 3 cory cats, and 4 danios.

I feed tilapia, shrimp, blackworms, bloodworms, beefheart...

I don't want to lose this guy, but I don't get why he's not eating.

temp in tank is 78 F, reading are 0,0,20.

Yesterday I shoved tilapia in his face, and he didn't even notice it.

I don't want to lose this guy too!

live blackworms or live fish held in front of his face by the tail with tongs

I tried that. the only thing he will eat is nls micro pellets.

Well if he eats that then let him

Hard to argue with that. If he's eating something and he starves, can't see how it's anyones fault but yours.

First off, the micro nls pellets are the only thing keeping him alive because he refuses to eat anything else, but these pellets are not enough to keep him healthy. He's extremely skinny, and I know he can't live on these forever.

And secondly, If he's eating, and starves... how is it my fault? And when did I say it was someone else's fault?!

I'm looking for advice, not rude comments. It's not like I'm not feeding him or offering him food. He's starving himself.
