Cichlids Not Eating

Thankyou! Well the flowerhorns are back eating but the umbee is still skittish whenever I walk into the room...

I think it's stress from adding the new fish. I've had that happen, they all quit eating and act a little off. I also had this happen after a water change when I forgot to add Prime--chloramine sickness. They didn't eat for a week that time. Then another time, I had Lyonsi get sick, dug a huge hole in tbe middle of the tank, the other fish wouldn't come out of hiding for 2 weeks, much less eat.

Bumped the temp. up to 28*C, added a little salt to the water and they seem to be on their way back to eating again so who knows...

Metro is also difficult to get ahold of over here (its a women's thrush treatment available as prescription only, so I've been told)
