Bro.. If i were you.. I would isolate the IT and throw in feeder fishes.. Alot of the,.. For the IT to eat when it likes to.. Imho.. I think this IT has some diet problem or is probably afraid to venture out to eat and snatch food..
Therefore.. U have to isolate it and dump in feeders so it can whenever it wants..

actually, i refrain from feeding Bloodworms and tubifex worms even in cube form.

Last time i rear small 1cm ST, fed them with small small torsat is the best.
bw/mysis, heard horror stories even when using such established brands, like fish die of some sort of internal infection and stuff.

MP is actually quite good, just get them into MP or even pellets if possible
out of 9 remaining 1cm 3bar IT; 8 eating MP of which 3-4 eats lionheadpellets, only one is starving but its only day 4.

once on lionhead pellets and MP, i believe growth rate is much faster, from personal experience

Agree with Jebus, its easier to train juv ITs to get used to taking pellets in addition to MP. Some pellets are pack with vitamins and help in building fish immune system + good growth.

I strongly reccomend Hikari lionhead for the matter of fact.
i think bro koji can attest to it too

frozen bw/mysis....
unless its alive( which is packed with possibilities of parasitic infection) else its pretty much loads of water 90+++%

for prawn the water content is prob ard 70%

Of course no ST tail...If ST classic tail...think everyone will grasp. When I checked with the seller, they said, is mixed with ST....

Let's see if there are any surprise. So far, they are doing well and increasing in size everyday.
