Not sure why he won't eat. Are you still feeding him on bloodworms? You might try upgrading him to krill now that he's grown some. He's definitely got a crooked spine, but he's still gorgeous. Hope the lil fella grows out huge! I personally don't mind deformity in a pet. It would be just like having a handicaped child. Would you kill them? Then why would you kill a pet the same way. I know no one has mentioned that in this thread, but some of the people were ticking me off in your other thread. Grow that lil guy out huge!!!
