Frontosa not eating

[Circa4190]

I just picked up a baby Frontosa from my LFS, and he's going on his 3rd day in the tank, and he still will not eat. Anyone have any suggestions on feeding for him? I'm trying a high quality Cichlid flake, but he won't take it. He has started to come out into the middle of the tank more, so maybe he was just stressed? I used aquarium salt, raised the temp a bit and kept the lights off, and it seemed to help a bit.

Give it time. It will eat sooner or later.

Fronts can be very skittish. It will eat in time.

I had to strave a group for 2 weeks, they finally eat. Now as they have grown even larger they happily eat!
