Try spirulina discs. They fall to the bottom and he may eat them later.
Leave one end of your glass unclean so that he can suck the algae off the glass.
Throw some smooth stones (the blue ones about 1.5 inches) in a highly lit area of the tank.

He should be plump. If he is thin he is starving so you need to add algae (nori is great) to the tank.

Soak the nori in garlic extreme as the garlic has been know to get a fish that is fussy about eating, eating again.
Good Luck

Hope you little guy is doing okay. Mine was really shy the first couple of weeks after he came home. He was eating lots of hair algae and now he LOVES flakes. I just have a pinch and sink it down so it floats more towards to bottom and mid section of the tank. Mine was really shy so I could not stand there and watch him for a little while. Now he doesn't care who's watching him.
