Who Gives A Fish Forums

Hey, I've got a multie problem - they're just not eating like I thought they would. Live food's a hit, but it's hard to get it regularly, so I've been trying those tetra red pellet sinking foods. All my other fish have loved 'em in the past. Now, I'm wondering if it's normal for multies to be this skittish - they still freak out when I come near the tank. I've had other tropicals before and they'd get all excited for food time after a few days, but these two just seem really scared all the time. They are venturing out a bit more, but only occasionally eating - can anyone offer some advice on this?
