What does this thing eat?

Post by tyberium »

I figure I should identify this thing because it will not eat the pellets I am feeding it. I dont have a camera so I will try and describe it. The bottom is a white silver and fades to black as it goes to the top. All the fins on the lower portion of the body are black with white on only the very tips. The dorsal fin is a transparant black with a long dark barb. The tail fin is kinda silver. Any ideas what this thing is and why it wont eat? It picks at the food, but doesnt eat it. Thanks.[/img]
