A couple months back I attained a 5" gold saum, he ate pellets for the first few weeks. I fed him both NLS and omega one and he ate pretty vigorously. Then all of a sudden he wont eat any of it... I got him some bloodworms and he's been eating that once a week. In between bloodworm feedings he wont eat a thing. No problems with water parameters, all other fish in the tank are doing great. Any tips?
 
Welcome to my world. Been through this 5 times with gt's. Get them, eat like pigs, grow fast until about 4 inches, then suddenly stop eating anything but blood worms, and stringy poop. Internal parasites. Have not been able to save any of them, it's the one species I can't keep alive (even started a thread about it a few months ago) people say force feed them food mixed with metro, hasn't worked for me. They just wither away after a long while.
