New Lion and Porcupine not eating

[jag65]

I have a 120 Gal. (not reef) tank. I have had it for a year. I ordered a Lion and Porcupine fish from this web site. I asked what they had been feeding them, and they said Silversides. I recieved them on Tuesday, and they still have not eaten. Also the Porcupine, after swimming quite a bit the first day, only stays inside my rocks laying on the bottom. I can see he is breathing, and he ventures a little bit out at night when I turn off the tank light. I just want to make sure I am doing this right before the die. Please help with any ideas. Thanks J.

They are probably still adjusting to their new home and conditions. They should eat in a day or two. The porc will do that normally and venture out every now and then. He should become more active when he is adjusted also.

They are acclimating. Give them a few days. Fish can go quite a while without eating. Lions and pork puffers are both very hearty eaters and just have to get their appetites up.

Thank you very much for your input. Every once in a while this hoby makes me nervous. I thank you once again.
