try setting up a small container for it with rocks and see if it attaches and try feeding it with some lighting and little to no flow, maybe itll brighten up in color,whatever it is good catch!

try some brine shrimp . turn the current off and drop it it on him with a straw . You know .hold your finger on the end of the straw until it's right above him and let it sink to him .
Unless you have a baster of nem feeder
