New kelberi and 2 spot not eating yet...

[dangerhack]

Got 3 great looking Bahia kelberi and 2 two spot orinos like monster peacock last night from aquascape ( which who were very helpful and patient). This morning I turned on lights and try to feed some frozen blood worms but only like 2 of the fish ate some as they sank because they fell like right in front of them. Is this normal how long should it take till they start going up for food.. Tank is 200 gallon temp at 86..

They will eventually school up like your saying now, Usually once one starts to eat something the others will follow at least thats what mine did.

When feeding frozen bloodworms do a little at a time so it doesnt all sink. This also gets their attention. When you feed try and feed in the same location all the time.

Thanks for the tips. Yea it still looks like one sometimes goes in corner especially when I'm within 10 ft of tank an he isn't eating much that I can tell. The other four always eat together an swim around
