If it is truly an emergancy,you can put the fish in a very small tank ,or bowl,and DUMP in alot of food. He will most likly eat wether it wants to or not. Only leave it in there a short while though.Say half an hour or an hour max.Just an Idea,I have never done this,but have heard of it being done.

yeah i agree with salty. if he is starving you need him eating quick. and drop in as many different types of food you can. but keep him in there for a very short period. what species is it? bo

Live food usually does the trick, try brine. I also heard fish roe is a good way to get a fish to eat although I have never tried this method.

did you ever get the cardinal to eat or did it die on you?
