Help eating please

[brifirst]

Just got two juvi,gold striped maroons. They don't seem to be eating. Have tried frozen brine , live brine and cyclopeze.
Any suggestions ???
Thanks

try soaking the food in garlic.

how are the fish behaving? do they appear stressed?

seem to be okay, one stopped trying to kill the other. They both have been swimming at the top of the tank though. Seem a bit interested , then spit the food out. I had them shipped to me from CA. to NY. Have had now since Wed.
The staying at the top of the tank is concerning though.

Cyclopeeze.... I haven't seen a fish that does not go nuts for it. Argent states it is the Betaine. I don't know if that is it, but if I chop up some cod the clowns won't touch it until it is marinated overnight in the fridge. They devour it the next night. Works like a charm!
