You might try feeding it more than just what it can find in the tank. Buy a bottle or two of copepods, culture part of them and throw the rest in the tank. Then as your culture grows you can feed out of that.

I have heard (not sure if it is true or not) that they start losing legs because they eventually starve to death. Everybody has a different experience with them so the subject is still open for debate.
