Well I had a couple of these about a year ago. Mine took cyclopeeze and freeze dried brine shrimp. Try feeding them some sinking pellets maybe.

ok ill try that and let you know how it gose

 

[scuba connor]

They didnt' eat they just sat there and watched all of it go by they didn't eat

Are they captive or wild caught? I have found that MANY wild caught are tricky to get eating some times. Yet another (of a very important list) reason to buy only captive bred bangaiis. You may ahve to try some live brine to get them going. If they are indeed captives, they should pick up eating quickly.

ok ill try live and keep trying with the frozen thanks
