New Loaches Won't Eat?

[atomiclord]

I recently picked up 4 khuli loaches from a LFS, a few days ago. I'm beginning to get concerned because they still won't eat. I also just bought some pellet type 'loach and catfood' tetramin food. They won't touch anything, either by day (when from what I understand they don't eat) or by night (no I've not been shining torches in; I've been staying up for hours and using my night-vision to watch them lol) and I'm wondering if they'll need to be weened onto the pellets? If so, how? They're only little and I want them to have the best I can provide.

Mine go nuts over shrimp pellets. They are usually out more at night but as soon as I start feeding flake food to the one lone guppy.. they all come out of their hiding places. Then I drop a few shrimp pellets in and they eat them till they are gone.

Even if my cories come over to the same pellet they won't budge. It did take a few days for them to start coming out when I'm around the tank. Good luck!
