how to make threadfin cardinal fish start eating

[jennyQwQ]

Hi guys I recently purchased 5 thread fin cardinal fish, only 2/5 of them start eating, I try all sort of frozen, try all sort fo live food (brine shrimp, mysis, cocoapods), the rest seems not invested at all. Any suggestion on what I should try? I don't want them starve to death.

Have you tried Angel / Butterfly Fish Formula? Selcon Added to the frozen food? Also I leave my Wave Pumps on, this simulates thawed frozen food swimming.

2 Things you could try. Very small TDO pellets. Live black or white worms

Unfortunately I am base in the UK, I don't thing I can get angle and butterfly fish formula and selcon. But I imagine I can get something similar.

I can get selcon, never mind.

Nocturnal fish, only time I have success is with night time feedings from the auto feeder when every other fish is asleep, small TDO as stated above
