Hey, just picked this up today, about 4.5" long. Was labelled as retropinnis, but I thought I'd ask the experts to be sure.

After checking the sticky it does appear to be a retropinnis, but I'll wait for confirmation from someone to be sure. And its more like 6", I measured wrong. Pretty skinny, but I'm hoping he'll bulk up quick on cut up earthworms.
 
Yep thats correct.
 
Whats a good starter food for retropinnis? I haven't seen him eat yet, and he's pretty skinny (IMO). I just tried earthworms on him, and he mouthed a piece repeatedly for about 5 minutes, but hasn't eaten it yet. I also have shrimp, tilapia, silversides, frozen krill, and freeze dried krill. Any of those particularly high on the list of foods retro's like?
