Hi guys I bought a banggai cardinal about 2 days ago and I see him ate at the fish store but for the last two days he doesn't eat in my tank I mean I see him go for the food but he spit it out. I tried flakes, frozen brine shrimp and frozen mysis shrimp already. Pls help!?

Ask the fish store what they feed and start with the that. I had a few Bengai that took days to start eating.

Have you ever put garlic on the food maybe entice him a lil bit

I saw them feed mysis shrimp. But in my tank they don't eat the mysis.

Yes everyday I feed I soak the food in garlic.

A healthy fish can go 2 weeks without eating before being in serious trouble. Give him more time to get used to his new home and keep trying.

Yes, give him a few days to acclimate to your tank.
