sorry for the blurry pics but if you could make it out le me know what you think ... he is a retic and i got him sunday
 
you need to fatten him up....great pick up!!!
 
Awesome, what size tank? Has he ate?
 
no hasnt ate .. i was gona put him in a lrg tube but while cycleing it split : ( (on day 2) so i had to basically split my 90 and until i go buy another one hes in with my gts and mono but divided of course
 
try blackworms or cut earthworms (bite size to fit in it's tiny mouth), I think a silver side may be to big for it's mouth at that size.
best of luck it
 
shrimp is good, I feed it to all my rays but it takes a while sometimes to get wild caught rays trained on shrimp.
They usually will except blackworms, you can try blood worms (my new born pups will eat 'em)---rays will usually except cut earthworms as well then whole worms as they get larger.

Retics are known to usually be picky eaters at first. I've never had retics but I hear/read they readily eat blackworms. Find something it'll except, fatten it up then start trying other foods.
Also remove any uneaten food.
