    at this point you can simply just keep feeding it and see what happens.

    Might help if you listed out your normal routine. Water changes, feedings, temp, etc...

    And lots and lots of clean water with lots of water changes!
    Feed the little guy super high quality food.
    It could be a runt, but the only thing u can do is make its environment super healthy and let nature take its course.
    Time to move on.

    In that case some just don't grow well. Could be genetic. As a breeder that is one of the reasons that we cull fish.
