Try feeding it small dead fish, chopped fish, insects, prawn meat, crayfish, shrimp, earthworms etc.

Hi idheav,try mozzi wriglers or small garden worms,this is their natural food,they are stimulated to eat from the movement,garden worms contain the nutrients they need and are readily available for most people buy digging in the garden.
