Gren terror not eating

[icecube]

Hi
I got a pair of green terrors about 4 days back and the problem is they have not been eating anthing.I tried even live fish but they wont eat.I am worried because they stomachs have started to shrink.

Are they in a tank with other large fishes??

It may take some time....Mine ate a little krill after a week and a half....but it took about 4months to eat everyday...he may still be adjusting to the tank!!!

do they have white stringy feces or other symptoms of internal parasites?

They are in a perfect state.
They ate a little food on the day i brought them but after that they havent touched the food.
They are alone in a 25g tank.

Their feaces is normal.

for starters a green terror in a 25g tank??? thats cruel. try a 55 or 70 gallon for two. they tend to take a while to adapt to new surroundings. they could have been spawning??? how big are theese?

I am not a starter.I have an experience of about 4 yrs in cichlid keeping,but this is the first time i have had any problem with new arrivals.

The terrors are in a 25g tank because they are new arivals. will be transferring them into the 75g cichlid tank.They are about 4-inch.
