I've had a small leporinus for about a month now and it hasn't eaten more than a few bites since I got it. I have tried flakes, pellets, spinach, dried bloodworms and live mealworms. The only thing it seems interested in is the mealworms but just for a nibble. It's starting to look a little frail so I need some ideas from anyone that has this fish. Water parameters are perfect. The tank is a 130 gallon with a Texas cichlid and a oscar.
 
If it's eating something you probably don't have nothing to worry about, but if you do, remember they're mainly vegetarians I believe, I know mine liked plant matter, so just go buy whatever cheap plants your lfs has and he'll eat them
