Try making a blended enrichment with water and Dan's Feed from seahorsesource.com and enrich medium to adult brine shrimp, feeding about 3 times a week. Sometimes it's a nutritional delay of growth.
Not really sure on the species (but they were only $30), it's normally very dark brown but can lighten to an almost golden color sometimes. I target feed it with a syringe with enriched brine shrimp daily just enough until he stops searching for the food. I tried mysis but he had a hard time swallowing it and wouldn't touch it after a few days of trying. I'll look into Dan's Feed for more nutrition for the little guy. Thanks!
