The 8 Neon tetras will not eat what I offer them. The platys and gouramies
and one cory are eating everything. The Neon's just take the food in and
spit it back out. One cory just hides by a rock.

I've tried 5 different foods and the Neon's wont eat any of them.
Suggestions anyone?

What have you tried so far?

Frozen bloodworms seem to always work for me.

===============================
I tried the freeze dried HBH Soft & Moist food, Tetra tropical flakes, HBH
Super Soft (with krill), AquaSelect Pacific Plankton and Aqua Betta (tiny
pellets).

One of the corys already died. Although it ate, all it did otherwise was
swim frantically from one end of the tank to the other. The second cory is
still hiding under the plants.

I feed mine Tetra Crisps.Crumble them up to make them suitable in
size and they scarf them up. I also feed Hikari Tropical Micro Wafers,
which looks and is about the size of a piece of ground pepper. Mine
also takes newly hatched brine shrimp, as well as frozen mysid.but I
do not feed them that stuff as a main staple food, only as a treat on
occasion.

Hi! I just tried crumbled "Crisps" and they spit them out also. I checked
the PH and it's 7.2. The cory that was eating but swimming frantically from
end to end of the tank died during the night. The other hasn't moved from
under the tangle of anubia.

The Neon's rejected 5 different foods now.

How many days did yours not eat before accepting one of the foods you
offered?
