[GSAS-Member] Rummy-nose Tetra Feeding

["Doerr, Jesse" <Jesse.Doerr@fei.com>]

Good morning,

I'm establishing a new tank and I was wondering if anyone had experience
with rummy-nose tetras.  

I added a school of 6 to the tank on Friday.  For the first 2 hours they
just laid on their sides on the bottom.  Then for the next day they just
hovered above the gravel under some plants.  Now they are starting to
swim around a bit and are exploring a little higher in the tank.  They
look they are starting to nibble on things too.

Will they eat floating flakes once they settle into the tank a bit more?
Every now and then I've been testing them by putting a very small amount
of crushed flakes on the surface, but so far they are just ignoring it.

Do you think this is still just shock after the move?  Or will I need a
different kind of food for them?

Thanks,

Jesse Doerr
