   Nope- they began eating a few days after adding them. It is as I thought, just   
   give them time to get settled in to the new environment.

   We added the fish to the tanks about 2 hours after getting them setup. If I    
   had   
   to do it over, I would get the tanks & everything setup before purchasing the   
   fish. This would give the environment time to settle before introducing the   
   fish. Thankfully fish are a relisient creature.
