Python NEAT not learning further after a certain point

It seems that my program is trying to learn until a certain point, and then it's satisfied and stops improving and changing at all. With my testing it usually goes to a value of -5 at most, and then it remains there no matter how long I keep it running. The result set does not change either.

Just to keep track of it I made my own kind of logging thing to see which did best. The array of ones and zeroes is referring to how often the AI made a right choice (1), and how often the AI made a wrong choice (0).

My goal is to get the AI to repeat a pattern of going above 0.5 and then going below 0.5, not necessarily find the odd number. This was meant as just a little test to see if I could get an AI working properly with some basic data, before doing something a bit more advanced.

But unfortunately it's not working and I am not certain why.

The code:

import os
import neat

def main(genomes, config):
    networks = []
    ge = []
    choices = []

    for _, genome in genomes:
        network = neat.nn.FeedForwardNetwork.create(genome, config)
        networks.append(network)

        genome.fitness = 0
        ge.append(genome)

        choices.append([])

    for x in range(25):
        for i, genome in enumerate(ge):
            output = networks[i].activate([x])

            # print(str(x) + " - " + str(i) + " chose " + str(output[0]))
            if output[0] > 0.5:
                if x % 2 == 0:
                    ge[i].fitness += 1
                    choices[i].append(1)
                else:
                    ge[i].fitness -= 5
                    choices[i].append(0)
            else:
                if not x % 2 == 0:
                    ge[i].fitness += 1
                    choices[i].append(1)
                else:
                    ge[i].fitness -= 5
                    choices[i].append(0)
                    pass
            
            # Optional death function, if I use this there are no winners at any point.
            # if ge[i].fitness <= 20:
            #     ge[i].fitness -= 100
            #     ge.pop(i)
            #     choices.pop(i)
            #    networks.pop(i)
    if len(ge) > 0:
        fittest = -1
        fitness = -999999
        for i, genome in enumerate(ge):
            if ge[i].fitness > fitness:
                fittest = i
                fitness = ge[i].fitness

        print("Best: " + str(fittest) + " with fitness " + str(fitness))
        print(str(choices[fittest]))
    else:
        print("Done with no best.")
