starve it for 4 days and drop a piece of food or whatever you feed your fishes. if it stil doesnt eat, give some live stuff like, ghost shrimp. black worm, brine shrimp. or market shrimp with shell off and see if that works. if it doesnt there are suppliments you can try using like Kent garlic xtreme

The Jardini will outgrow the Tiger ...10 fold. And may well kill your tiger later on. so be carful.
Tigers take long time to settle in, so worse case... it can take months to start feeding.
Christ4Paul has posted some good feeding tips above.
