I got a 3.5 inch lima a few days ago, and he still hasnt eaten anything. I have been feeding him carnivore pellets, and I try to feed him after I turn off the lights before I go to bed, but in the morning he hasnt eaten any of them. Any other food suggestions? I just dont know what else to try because hes still very small and I cant feed him market shrimp or fish fillet

if u only got him a couple days ago, he might just still be stressed... let him settle for a bit. is he healthy? are there tank mates bugging him? What size tank is he in?
right now hes in a 55g, and as far as i can tell no one goes near him. hes in there with 3 feeder fish that are way too big for him to eat, and a 4 inch aro. I have a 120g to move them too I just wanted to raise them a bit in something smaller. Are carnivore pellets good for him though? should he be readily accepting them once he is less stressed?
Just let him settle in , he must just be stressed from the move and getting put into a new tank . 3 or 4 more days and he should be eating fine .
