New Sailfins

[evilchild]

i just got 2 sailfins yesturday M/F they seem fine in the tank, seem to be eating algae of the rocks and they did eat some of the daff i put in last night which is good. this morining i put a bit of flake food in and they didn't seem to like it, kept spiting it out? i'm going to get some sort of real plant tonight from my lfs. is this normal? any advice would be grate.

P.s i know they may not have settled in just yet but should i be worried yet?

a lot of LFS's will use sinking tablets as food for their fish as its cheaper and they just be used to this, some of my sailfins will only each tablets, i suppose its like having spoilt fish who have become fussy with their food. i would try a bit of both.
