It's the ching mix my friend, a lot people i know have that problem when they feed their fh that brand including me.
 
nono its not Chingmix.

You just took your FH home, he is used to eating what was at the pet store or where u got him from.

Give him a few days and he will eat the CM. Dont believe the hype about blasts on chingmix, people think they can just buy a food and their fish will eat it. its the best food for your flowerhorn hands down.
 
get guppies or try bloodworms. most fish will eventually eat. only stupid fishes die of starvation. i hope your fish isnt in the stupid category. GL

yes i forgot bloodworms work..and also brine shrimp
 
Make sure your tank temperature is high around 80-ish. Also only offer CM once or twice more, if he doesn't eat it then I would get him started on another food(would not suggest guppys or goldfish I mean seriously) and work CM in later if you want to.

Worst comes to worst feed him hikari bio gold betcha he takes it almost right way.
