Just keep watching. With the size of his mouth you should be able to spot him eating pretty easily. If he's new to the tank it may take hoim a few days to settle in and start to eat. It can also take a while for them to get used to new foods if you recently changed that. You could try turning off the tank lights for a 1/2 hour or so before feeding him to see if that makes him more comfortable.

Try putting in some wafers that sink to the bottom of the tank.
