red arro seldom eat , pls help

[7576]

I brought this 8" red arro from OTF 6 mths back , he rarely eat . I have try pallet , lives fishes , worms . I have pack a bag of lives fishes @ $2 , it took the arro at least 2 mths to finish it . I try buying small red worms , rarely eat too . Try bigger red worms , dun bother to eat too.

The red arro still look the same as 6mths back. Didnt grow at all.

Any idea how to make my red arro to eat normally ???

1. Yout fish small eater.
2. Food not to its liking.
3. External factors like poor water quality, aggressive/timid tankmates, surrounding environment etc.
just have to troubleshoot and eliminate one by one.
Must be patient.

Btw, don't get those color enhanced worms. The normal ones are fine.
