No. Try frozen bloodworms. Or frozen Brine Shrimp. Live is even better. But when we got in new fish, they'd eat frozen eagerly.
Make sure your water is perfect also. They are sensitive and need good water.
What other fish are in there ? What size tank ? Temperature ?

They are one of the shyest Gouramis. They need plenty of live plants to hide in They may eat some veggie based food, but don't have the mouth to be a true algae eater. They need peaceful tank mates that let them eat.
I've target fed them frozen food with a baster before.
Heres an article I found.

Agreed the baster is a good idea, I use it for shy and difficult to feed fish ,ie African dwarf frogs etc
Give your honey time to settle as said they are shy fish.
My honey was also the same, was hiding in the plants and not coming out to feed, after a couple of weeks it's always out and about and feeds with the rest of the tank.
