I got an Oscar, Jack Dempsey and Covict cichlid in a 90g tank yesterday. I fed them a few pellets and the oscar ate 3. I tried to feed them today and none of them ate a single pellet.
I use Aqueon cichlid pellets. All the water parameters are spot on. How do I fix this?
 
If you got them yesterday it could take them a few days to adjust and start eating. I got 2 10-inch oscars and it took them 5 days to start eating.
 
My Oscar would never touch the aqueon pellets. Just let em float. --Switched to Hikari --loves em.
 
Just give it a few days. If they are new to tank it can take a little sometimes. Also could be the food. I've had some very picky fish over the years. Even oscars
