A few days ago I picked up a 4" to 5" knife fish and he won't eat. It could just be that he is getting used to my aquarium but he just sits in his little cave and barely ever comes out. I have tried feeding him cichlid gold pellets and small cut up pieces of trout fillet. If you have any ideas on what to feed him please help me.
What do I need my baby clown knife fish?

I went outside and caught some earth worms and cleaned them off and my clown knife immediately ate one. Thank you so much. I did have to split the worm in half because it was a little big but then he ate it as soon as it came near him.(my Oscar enjoyed the worms as well.)
Glad to hear it and yeah,Oscars love the worms too....there isn't too much that they don't love lol!
True. Thank you so much for the advice. I was getting worried that he wouldnt move around or eat. He seems fine now and started move around the tank more today.
What kind of knifefish, ?
Hand feed him earthworms till he recognizes you as "the food person" then switch in other foods like silversides, krill, live crickets,fresh squid etc.
