    did you try NLS pellet? i suppose your apisto are from fei miao too. i got mine from him, initially they are not eating but once i feed NLS pellet they start eating. Now they eat anything i feed them. Problem now are they kena ich, which i believe came from the glowlight tetra.

    So how's your apisto red black male now??? Feeling better??? Why not you try feeding some live brine shrimps??? Will improve their appetite... But please do not try feeding tubifex worms..
    I have bad experience with them other than that is ok..
    Hope this helps
