midas not eating

Question
hi brought a midas a week ago and it still ent eating ive tryed pellets crikets slugs bloodworm and more what do these fish eat and if the food is right y ent it eating thanx

Answer
Hi Jamie,
 It can take a while (a week is not unusual) for a fish like a midas to get used to a new tank.  The important thing is to offer it food, but remove the food after a few minutes if the fish doesn't eat it.  Otherwise, the uneaten food will pollute the water and make the fish even less likely to eat.
