Kribs arent eating?

[sweetpickles7]

Im having a little bit of a problem with my kribs.They wont eat anything that i give them.I tried new life spectrum and some type of flake food.They arent as active as my last pair either?What should i do?

Several water changes over the course of a couple of days should help out.
Do 20% every other day and see if this does not spark their appitite.

Offering them a frozen or live food might help as well.

I dont know if this will matter any but they do sift the sand so hopefull they do get some nutrients.K, ill do some water changes.

Agree with Dino, when did you get them?

Sifting sand is normal so thats good. Could it be they are just new to the tank?

Yea, i got them monday.So they are probably just getting the feel of the tank.Suprisingly my rams are doing GREAT and my kribs not so.I got them at the same time.

Let them settle in, give them some WCs like dino says and see what happens. Some fish take longer to settle in.
