Only eats bloodworms, and is still really thin. Its very hard to feed because the guppies eat all the worms, so I've been pushing the worms down in front of the ram with a stick and swatting the guppies away. I can't belive how hard it is to give food to this fish. I'll try some other tyes of frozen food. The only non-frozen food it showed any intereest in were sinking cichlid pellets, but only rarely, and they were too big! (small-size) I crushed them up, but then they were totally ignored.
