id never think id see the day where id have a cichlid that didnt eat, ive had him about 5 days, an ive tryed an aray of foods but none take his fancy all he eats is a few tiny crumbs which the other fish spit back out of there pellets. he looks at them but just does not want to take them from the top of the water an if u try sinking ones as soon as they hit the floor he will not eat them any ideas on what to try him on next.

More information would be helpful: What are his current tankmates? What exactly are you feeding? Sometimes it may take several days for a fish to settle in to a new environment, especially if they are being intimidated by any aggressive tankmates. Give him a little bit of time to acclimate fully - he'll come around.
