Volitan not eating

I picked up this 6" Black Volitan friday - he has yet to eat that I've seen. It's monday now and I'm starting to worry. I'm assuming they were feeding him live fish because he wants nothing to do with the silversides I've been offering him. I tried breaking them up into smaller pieces because he is so small. When the food is sinking he will follow it down to the bottom and look at it for awhile then swim away. Any suggestions would be great.

Pick up a feeder stick from your LFS (about 2.50), place the silverside on it and wiggle it. Since Volitans like there food to look live, Make it look live, just keep moving it. Keep trying it should come around, volitans are pretty easy to wean over.
