Question

had it for about 4 days, along with a kole tang, both not eating any recommendations on food, i have been givening them formula 2, mysis shrimp and some vegitable mix for fish, and formula one pellets.

Answer 1

where they eating @the pet store?do they pick @the rocks?are they adapting to the environment you set up for them.by now they should be getting comfortable,with their surroundings.poor water quality,new tank,parasites,and poisoning from capture,and incompatability.might have something to do with it.test the water for ammonia,nitrites,try using live food,brine shrimp,try rubberbanding food to rocks,lettice,susinori,algae,or for the butterfly,cheap anemones,which they pick @in the wild,try frozen food soaked in garlic,use garlic juice from the market.not the stuff from the pet store,expensive.unless you want to.try a clip with a mesh frozen food holder.also a piece of liverock

Answer 2

they're new, don't keep throwing food at them, it'll take a week or two for them to be comfortable enough to feed. remove any uneaten food to stop the tank water going bad. both these fish will be wild caught, they don't breed in captivity, so it's quite a shock to be moved around through all these tanks and takes a long time to settle.
