I've had three x-rays in my 5.5 gallon tank for over a month now. The other two were pretty good about eating flake and dried food, but one (the rather visible runt) refuses to eat anything but baby brine shrimp. So far I have tried: fasting him, frozen bloodworms, betta flake food (small flakes), tetra flake food, tubifex worms dried, and dried bloodworms. He will spit everything out, and I know size is not the issue since he is able to fully get the food into his mouth but spits it out. It's frustrating to keep resorting to the baby brine shrimp as it is a time sink and definitely pollutes the tank even when I drip it into the tank with a syringe.
Any help would be greaty appreciated!
