I bought recently 3 geo's an 3 severums 2 green an 1 gold, but
they have been n the tank for 3 days now an when i put food in the tank it doesnt seem to get there attention its a 125 an there all small like 2'' at max is the tank to big for them to find food in it???

A 125g should be okay. What foods are you using? Severums in my experience will hog everything even at an inch size.

thats the thing i bought the fish stores brand kuz im sure thats what they used to feed them with, i was going to switch once they got used to me feeding them, its jst a floating pellet type food cichld staple

Been in the tank for only 3 days, they're probably still getting acclimated to their new enviroment. Have you tried bloodworms? Try them if getting worried. Then slowly ween them onto the pellets, maybe soak some pellets while letting the bloodworms defrost.

Thaw them in a net placed under dechlorinated running water.
