Try feeding other things. Maybe frozen blood worms or flakes. My gardneri eat pretty much anything I give them... I feed them live bugs that I find in my house even.
Question for the killifish ppl
Do nothos feed every couple of days or so? I feed live blackworms daily and he only eats one or 2 worms every 2-3 days. On the days after he's eaten, I've seen it bite one and then spit it out like it was fish poop. I've even put some wriggling in front of its face and he swims past it like another fish. I thought killifish loved blackworms? There doesn't seem to be anything wrong him because he swims around and doesn't hide. I just hope he doesn't starve with his eating habits..

I have never seen my killis eat anything not moving, so I would keep up with anything alive, and my nothos also only eat about a worm a day at the most unless they've been breeding recently. So I would just keep up with offering a few worms a day or give brine shrimp a try if you have access to them. But killis are notorious for only eating live foods.
+1 as far as nothos go anyway.I have never seen my killis eat anything not moving, so I would keep up with anything alive, and my nothos also only eat about a worm a day at the most unless they've been breeding recently.

My nothos guentheri really enjoy eating live grindal worms twice a day but I believe grindal worms are much smaller than blackworms.

Ok I fed him again today and I tried a mix of live black and frozen bloodworms and he only ate 2. He was favouring the blackworms though. As for flakes, he basically ignores them. Maybe he just has a small appetite.
As long as he is eating I would not worry. Keep up live foods or frozen if he takes it.
