Bangai Cardinals Feeding

[Mikef1]

I recently introduced 3 bangai cardinals to my 90 gallon and am having trouble with them eating. Before I purchased them the guy at my lfs gavw them frozen mysis shrimp and they gobbled it up. I have been trying to get them to feed on the same food for a few days now with no luck. Im not sure if there is to much current for them or what? I have tried turning the current down and tunze off still with no luck. Any suggestions? All water params are good.

Have you tried a night or early morning feeding before the lights are on? Mine eat during the day but they feed with even more gusto at night with the moonlight on. I have a friend who specifically feeds her banggai late, after the lights have been out as they eat more at that time for her. Just something to try.

Do you have access to live brine shrimp? If they ate the frozen mysis (same brand right?) at the store, I would expect them to start feeding on it soon in your tank, but live brine is usually a sure bet
