I bought a a group of 8 Neolamprologus Multifasciatus. I have had them for 9 days. They are close to if not adult size. When I got them they had 3 shells between the 8 of them so I bought them 36 shells. So they are in a 20L with 2 sponge filters in it with sand and 36 shells. The temp in the tank is between 78-80. The reason I'm concerned is that they are not eating much at all. I know they are small fish but when I feed them they don't even go after the food. I have seen a few of them come up and eat the food off the bottom about 20 min after I fed them. I have fed them Frozen Bloodworms, Frozen Brine Shrimp, Pellets and flakes. The other reason for concern is that they aren't digging at all. I read that they would re arrange their tank and they haven't done anything. So I was wondering if I am doing something wrong or if you all think they are ok. Let me know what you think.

sound stressed... give them a but of time...stop feeding for 2 days... then try again. What were they eating prior?
mine took awhile to start redecorating...and when they did, it was still nothing like some of the stories i've heard/read about them redecorating. I started feeding frozen bb shrimp from the day i got them...and now frozen baby and adult brine only.
hang in there, they are probably still stressed as previously stated.
what is the ph in your tank vs where they came from?
