New Fish Not Eating

[Carey27]

So its been about 40 hours and the new fish are still on a hunger strike... Im trying to feed them tertacomplete flake mix but the fish just watch it float to the bottom. Should I be conserned?

when did you get them?
what are your water stats?
do they have any sign of illness?

Try different foods fish are funny can take a while to get used to a different brand of flakes.

I learned the hard way with new wild cardinals to feed live baby brine shrimp. They'll eat them right away. Eventuallly they'll figure out the flake food, but I also had them starve when I first got them, watching the flake food float past them. Get some BBS going asap & you should save them.
