How do I get my Flagtail Fei Feng to eat more?

[asm129]

I bought a 5" Flagtail (Fei Feng) fish about 5 days ago. He's in a 240G tank with a 8" peacock bass, a 17" aro and x3 7" geos. I put live blackworms in the tank for them and I never see him try to eat any of them. I put sinking pellets and floating pellets in too and he never goes for them either. I see him occasionally eat a little bit of the algae off the glass, but that's it. Most of the time, he's just kind of swimming in the same spot and not moving much.

How do I get him to eat more? Is there something else I should try to feed him?

Just let it settle down first. It will eat sinking pellets.
