As you know i have my 2 5" Kelberi in a 6x2x2 with other fish including, geos, dollars, cichlids, rays and a VATF. I saw them eating earthworms in the shop.

In my tank they do seem to be quite confident and swim about but when i feed them, worms, frozen food and pellets theother fish get it before they do. Would i be better sticking them in my 24x15x12 tank for a while? Untill i get them eating well?

The only problem is that theres a 7" wyckii cat in there that im holding for a friend untill saturday. i can keep that in a box with filter for a few days.

Anyways tonight im gonna get some of that seachem garlic extract that peeps recommend. Give em a try andif they still havent eaten anything ill stick em into the 2 foot and some feeders for em. What you think?
 
i think its good idea to move them to the 24x15x12 easier to feed and look after, you wouldnt want to lose one of these guys.

Yeah im moving them tonight after work. pickuing up a few feeders also

nice one, lets know when they eat and more pics too :D
 
just dont lose them, garlic seems to help with fish, but these kelberi, if they same as jeffs shipment are really picky
 
if i were you,i'd just continue to leave them in that tank.
they will eat when they watch the others eat.
and they will get their food when they need it.
but they are KELBERIS,so its really up to you.

I am very confused not sure what to do now.

I myself would rather leave them in there.
