He/She is acclimated to the tank, out of hiding, not shy, has no problem shouldering its way through the tank and its tank mates.......

But it wont eat....

It slightly emiciated too, was since I picked it up about 7 days ago.

Acts intersted in all foods put in the tank, but get especially excited when i add my home blended batch- but just wont eat.

If other fish get too close to it, or eat too close, the Pink Tail will boss them around a little for eating too close, but wont partake in the feast with the other fish. Its not shy, scared, ect.....

What can I offer this fish the tempt its appetite in my tank?

All pumps turned off, multitudes of foods offered (but none live), even Vit C fortified and garlic stuff- frozen and prepared/flake.

Plenty of time to eat, offering X3 more than I should, few times a day- trying not to polute my tank anymore trying.
 
Maybe try a live clam or oyster, ghost or grass shrimp if you have a source nearby.
