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.
