    My Royal Gramma didn't eat for the first two feedings (that are every two days).

    He seems to like pellets best, but he eats flakes and my frozen mixed food too without issue.

    ok, gave them both some froxen brine again and they seemd to peck at the food a little, but hey werent as exited as my other fish to get it. It might just be they are still getting accustom to feeding times in the tank, only once every other day

    yea give them some time to acclimate to their new surroundings - I'm sure they will be doing better soon!
