Does anyone know what these fish eat besides blood worms and tiny shrimp? I recently bought two from the Wet spot in Oregon, I guess they are wild caught. They are happy and healthy, but on the skinny side and they seem to be picky eaters for a earth eater.
 
I've got a couple from the Wet Spot as well that are pushing 6". They eat readily on smaller sinking pellets, which is all I've ever fed them.

Mine likes NLS , flake food , tetra crisps , hikari micro pellets , discus bio-gold . He's not picky at all actually . I've had him for many years though .
 
How big are they ? 1 mil is big for the little ones . I had mine since he was about an inch and at that time he couldn't handle the 1 mil pellets . He'd work on 1 .5mil pellet for a few minutes .

They are both around 4-5" inches... And I'll post some pictures of the pellets and the fish.
