Hi... I'm getting desperate.

I have owned my Green Severum for about 4 years now, and while he's
always been a picky eater, lately he's just gotten worse.

I have a virtual graveyard of foods I've tried and he's rejected. The
only thing he'll eat right now is HBH Super Soft frozen food alternative
with krill for marine & freshwater fish. He'll eat that - sometimes.
One pellet will be fine, the next he'll spit out, then he'll eat another
one fine.

And that of course is when he SEES the pellet. He's either blind,
retarded, or both. He really only sees well on one side of his head, so
I have to drop the pellets, one by one, to places I think he'll see.

One of my fish-keeping friends keeps telling me if a fish gets hungry
enough, he'll eat. But that just seems cruel to me.

So, any help/suggestions/advice/recommendations?
===============================
Is he thin? Does he look sick? Are his eyes bright and clear? Does he
respond to the light being turned on or off or a hand passing overhead?
What about your water conditions? Are they within the PH, DH and
temperature range to suit this fish? Is the tank large enough for him to
move around in? You really didn't tell us much.
