Eating

[Valentinas Dadd]

I am not sure if this is the right forum but I will post it here regardless, please forgive me.
Recently I added our new addition which is a 7 inch male with my 8 1/2 inch female in a 20 Gallon Long tank. I put some small Rosey and Goldfish in the tank with them for snacking. I have tried feeding pellets to them but they seem to not want them, I have tried mealworms and earthworms and they do not seem to eat them. Today will be the third day since I put them in the new tank. My female never had an issue eating, she is a healthy eater. I am worried they are not eating. How long can they go without eating?

Any suggestions?

Water temp is about 70 fahrenheit which is about 21 celsius. Temp was never an issue with the female before.

Any suggestions on what tot feed them or how to feed them in the new tank is greatly appreciated.

Goldfish are not a good option for a feeder fish. You might need to try several times with earthworms and pellets. They take Canadian nightcrawlers more easily than red wrigglers.
