Very much south..
Those 2 new ones, 24 hrs in their tank show absolutely no interest in any proffered food ( have tried freezed shrimp and fish )

I am not used to this with Pacman's, since my big one could eat a truck if I put it in front of it..

anyone have any ideas?
 
Try shrimp pellets, or some type of hikari sinking pellets. Mine also eat frozen krille. They may need some more time to adjust too.
 
Give them time to adjust. You could also try some garlic extract....
 
try feeding them with the lights off.
 
I usually feed my monster Pacman with tweezers and he simply EXPLODES and wallows whatever it is i give him...

the two new pacmans are in a tank with 2 aros and a CK...if i try to feed them with the lights off, the CK will make short work of everything before they get to it...

I purchased them from Glaser in Germany and spoke with them today...they were only and constantly fed with live fish...so that is the **** i' in the middle of...

will give them time, but they are tending to the skinny side.....
 
Well they started eating today....one with appetite, the other not specially...almost a week gone by....
 
give it more time. mine just have on and off appitite. today could whack 4 or 5 carnivore pellets, tmr jus shut out its mouth. that's puzzling me.
