Rainbow shark

[K1ngTM18]

Greetings,
i own a Rainbow shark for my 29 gallon freshwater tank. i bought him at about 2.5 inches and i have had him for 3 months but he remains the same sized. when i feed the other fish, he does not seem to eat but seems healthy. is there a specific reason you might think he is not growing and eating?

They mostly like eating the leftover food stuck on the gravel and plants IME. Mine doesn't eat any food I drop in the tank but it is really fat and it is always picking at the plants and gravel. Yours not eating is not the biggest concern though, you will have to get a bigger tank or rehome your shark once it grows a little bigger, they need a larger tank then a 29 gallon. Hope this helps.
