Try get it onto pellets.

Hikari carnivore first then eventually Hikari Massivore.
And Market Shrimp (broken into small bits while he is small.

Also worms are good.

Senegals are pigs, if they smell food, they'll come looking for it. I feed mine twice a day until they're bulging a little. A fat sen is a happy sen. Keep feeding like that and double up on your water changes, your sen will grow like a weed.
They really like earthworms.

hikari carnivore pellets once before I turn on the lights and once around dinner time. I throw in an occasional bit of fish fillet, and shrimp. my first bichir used to come up for freeze dried bloodworms.

My Senegal looooooves sinking shrimp pellets. He shreds them into a huge cloud when he eats them, so make sure you have a good filter. Wardley makes a great sinking shrimp pellet.

I have a endli and he loves frozen beef hearts. He is just starting to take hikari sinking carnivore pellets! He wasn't eating much for the first 2 weeks and he became less picky and is now eating both the beef hearts and sinking carnivore pellets.

I got one like for 2 weeks now, he only eats bloodworm.

I guess I have to try to get him to eat pellets, or he'll never eat anything else.

bloodworms are like fish crack
