short terms...Dosnt eat, and breaths weird
 
add tonic 1 pound of salt per 100 gallons.... up temp 84f and add some airstones to keep D/O high.... cover tank and keep it dark offer foods and wait
 
What are you trying to feed it? The best foods for baby retic's, especially new ones, are live blackworms and live ghost shrimp. They will almost always eat those, unless there is something really wrong.

Otherwise, do what they said ^.
 
well it ate at the store, and im feeding it a bunch of things, like blood worms, shrimp, brine shrimp, glass worms
 
earthworms, ghost shrimp, and black worms are the things you should try.
