Some of my new fish don't eat

[Djatisha971]

Hello,

I have just recently added fish in my tank, and some of them have perfectly acclimatized (two blue tangs and two tomato clownfish), however the rest of them looks perfectly healthy but does not touch their food (two cardinals, one dotty back and a One Spot Fox head).

I am very worried, I feed them TETRAMIN tropical flakes, which the other fish eat. And also some pellets for marine fish, which nobody touches or barely.

Is there anything else I should be feeding them? Or are they still acclimatizing?

variety is key. good quality frozen foods and live foods are important, as well as various dried/prepared foods.

if i'm reading your old posts correctly you have a 128 liter tank? that's about 34ish gallons?

if that's the case, you need to get rid of the tangs and the fox face immediately. that tank is too small for any one of them by themselves, let along a group of three. i would be willing to be that's at least part of your problem in your other thread asking about cloudy water. you're WAY over stocked.

cramped conditions and bad water quality are also likely factors in stressing your fish out so that they don't eat.

Okay! That's too bad really they look so amazing. But I will return them as I don't want any fish to die under my care! Thank you for your help!!

Did you just add all of those fish at once? You should add one MAYBE two at a time. This could overload your biofilter and kill all the fish. You should return some immediately like was stated above. If it is actually 34 gallons then both tangs and the foxface need to go.
