Have some solid food, make a little hole in it (Or any food which wont break up in water) and drop a single grain of epsom salt in it. Cover and feed it to him. Also try and feeding him duckweed and peas. Might have constipation.
Please help my bulimic Snookums.

Its a hunter, give him shrimps, preferable live one's, a couple of feeders might trigger his appetite, mussels are good foods too.
These pics show a RBS's mouth. Not suited for strong foods. Feeder crays will probably be out of the option.

What? What the hell is a "strong" food? You do know that that isn't where the jaws are, they're farther back in the throat. They'll haven no problems with ANY type of food.
When was the last time the fish ate? Does it look unhealthy? Fish can go a very long time without eating, I've fasted for over three weeks to break a fish's habbits.
Keep trying new things, I find earthworms to work well, maybe try insects, like crickets or moths. If worst comes to worst use feeder guppies or other fish you know are clean. If the eggs are the snooks, why keep calling it a he?
They are the Zonatus's eggs. He just fertilized them. Is garlic really a good appetite stimulant?
Garlic is a natural type of antimicrobial. That is why people try to feed it to fish when they are not eating or acting strange, as it may help clean out their intestinal tract if they do have a bug.
Not a true "appetite stimulant" in any sense of the word, but it can lead to fish eating.
