It's hard to feed these 5 3" polys in this 125 gallon tank. They're scattered around. I took a blood worm cube and dissolved it in tank water and used forceps to feed all parts of the tank and they just swim by it. Haven't eaten yet but I expected that. The fish eat it up though.

I want to see them eat before I leave tomorrow out of town. I'll try tilapia today.

I can imagine.

Try feeding during lights off.
 
There is also this tight plastic lid over, what are the chances of a poly knocking it off?

I'd be surprised if they snubbed small pieces of tilapia or silversides. You could also try frozen krill.

Sometimes fish do take a bit to settle in and feed. Hopefully yours will eat today.

You poly people seem so nice lol The cichlid guys can be a bit aggressive, myself included. Maybe it's from the fish we keep

We just like to have fun while teaching other people.
I completely agree. I keep a ton of other fish besides polys but I almost never post in any other section. In other sections you can't help but get a lecture with your answer, here you just get help. It's what forums like MFK are for. I'm not saying that every person in other sections is an %$! hole, I'm just saying that you won't find a single one in the poly forum. Says something about polys themselves!
