Wow.....I see why Tina didn't respond to this thread........

YES IT DOES MATTER!!!!
A 4 day old fish usually cannot eat an algae wafer.
A fish you've had for 4 days may still be too unfamiliar with its new surroundings (especially if there are other fish in the tank) to come out and eat. Its not uncommon for this to happen. Give him a few more days and see if his progress changes.

Is the CAE on the glass yet? If so he/she is eating already, just not your wafers.

And a full size cae is 11 inches long. I highly doubt yours is full size.
