Default Harlequin tusk, high maintenance eater

I picked one up from a kijiji add and for the life of me could not get him to eat, tried everything. He went for about three weeks eating very poorly if anything at all. I picked up some raw oysters at Safeway, through it in half shell and he went nuts. He loves these things, but that's it. I fed for awhile with the oysters, got his strength back and then tried raw shimp, myisis, pellets and he wants nothing to do with it. I guess he will get to shuck oysters until he develops a taste for other food. It would be nice if he ate the same as the others.

He was eating really well and then stopped again, goes on eating strikes for some reason. Just started eating again, but spits a lot of it out.
