feeding problems

Question
i recently bought a female borelli's dwarf cichlid but it wouldnt eat!i tried dried food,bloodworms,and brine shrimp. what can i do?

Answer
Hi Sasuke,
 Give the fish some time.  Moving a fish can be very traumatic and many fish respond by not eating for several days or even a week or more. Eventually it will start eating.  If it were me, I would keep trying with live brine shrimp because the movement of the shrimp tends to entice fish to eat.
