It’s slow so give it time. Will plateau around the 4-6inch mark.
 
so should i feed it chicken liver or shrimp both are too big for it's mouth even when very very very finely chopped. i tried giving it crushed dried worms but it refused
I’d try a pellet and cut up tilapia soaked in vitamins. Would avoid chicken and liver. Can have some dried krill or cut up shrimp occasionally as a snack.
