Hydrolycus family fish help

[rclark12]

hey guys i got a three inch fish today, its in the hydrolycus family with armatus..but the fish insnt identified i guess its too small to judge yet.
wondering if any one has kept one like this or can identify him... not realy sure what to feed him he seems interested in fillets but doesnt eat them. also sits funny, like straight up... any help would be great guys thanks!

Hi scoured the net and in my amateur opinion, it looks like a Hydrolycus scomberoides. You're probably right though, at 3" I'm probably wrong.

Pellets, if you can. But feeders, silver sides, etc.
