HELP Killifish will not eat .....

[schwarzi88]

like the title said .... my pair i got yesterday are doin ok in the new tank ... the female ate yeaterday (frozen brianshrimp) thats what the LPS guy said to feed them .... but my male will not eat.
i dropped some brianshrimp right infront of him watched him inhaile one then spit it back out .... i sucked some red worms in a long hose and blew it right infront of his face .... still nuthin .... i'm worried .... shoud i take him out or keep him in a breeding net till he eats ..... the other fish hog food to but i always give him special service but no luck yet!
any info or experiences like mine that got solved other than "dead fish" please let me know ASAP!
thanks guys!

It often takes several days for a new fish to settle down and eat.

i'm hoping that its just a getting used to issue ... he's been in there for 3 days now . he was skimming the top of the tank this moring i figure he'll just eat when he's starving enouh .... or atleast i hope ! lol
