How old is the tank and did they have any visible problems on them? This can be disease or damage. What are the water parameters? How did you acclimate them?

My tank is almost 1 year old
PH- 7.91
Nitrite-0
Phosphate-0.04

Thats all the test kit i got at the moment
I have to purchase the rest again

When i got them i put them im my tank for like 30 min , then i did the drip acclimation for around 30 to 45 min then i added it to my tank after that , since then they were hinding behind my rocks n not coming out at all.

I try to avoid drip acclimating any new fish.
the Ammonia that is in the bag, along with the sudden increase of oxygen is harmful.
I usually float the bag for about 30 minutes, then open the bag, pour 2 cups of the tank water into the bag with 10 seconds between cups and in they go.

also, what are you trying to feed them?
Salinity?

check your salinity and get some test kits for ammonia as well.
are the fish in QT now or DT?
if in DT, they might be stressed by other fish, especially during feeding

good luck, I hope they will bite soon..
