yesterday evening i got 3 new african ciclids for my already circulating tank i decided to make my tank all african ciclid becouse of their exoticness and their agressiveness i have a 29 gallon tank and in a month or so will get 2 new ciclids that is what the staff at the fish store advised us to do. well any way only my eletric yellow ciclid is eating iam feeding the fish the proper food. my other ciclids are not eating is it becouse they are in a new enviroment when i reaserched it on the internet it said ciclids should be always eager to eat

They are most likely stressed out a little from the move to a new tank. Give them a couple days and they will eat.

They are just stressed right now give them time, they can go for about a week without food so don't freak out too much, They will come around don't worry I have lots of cichlids and they do really well so they will be alright just keep feeding them and they might be eating at night when you are not watching.
