No, not available here.

But tried pellets, pellets in selcon, pellets in garlic, mysis, plankton, other mysis, brine shrimp, cyclopeze, scallop, fish roe, nori, nori in garlic. Rock with sponge on it, zoas, feather dusters. If live worms or brine doesn't do it, he's done.

Defrost a whole pack of food in a gallon of water and stuff him in there for an hour or two

I hope he takes the live food

Since you're going shopping anyway, you could pick up some Wardley's liquid fry food/Hikari first bites. Long shot, but if he's on the way out anyway ...

Have you been to Victoria?? Tough enough to find flake food.

I know its a bit late but fish are supposed to love Doc eco eggs. Might be good to try on next fish if this one doesn't make it.

My only real LFS is J&L, so kinda hooped.

I've moved this guy to the DT in hopes he can forage for stuff, black worms didn't even get a second look.

Lesson, don't buy fish that isn't eating yet, even if it means you don't get the fish at all.
