Today i added 2 bala sharks 1 1/2"long (approx.) to a 50 gallon tank containing 1 Bala Shark,4 Parrots, 2 Angels and 3 goldfishes, all are 3 inches (approx.).
While all the fishes come to the surface to eat the pellets i feed them twice a day and eat all the food within minutes of feeding, these 2 remain at the bottom of the tank and never show up at the surface and have hence not eaten today which makes me little worried for the two.
Kindly suggest as to how i can make the 2 of them to eat.....

My suggestions:

All goldfish are temperate water fish, which means they need water no higher than 70-74 degrees farenheit. The sharks, parrots, and angels are all tropical fish which means they need water in the upper 70s to lower 80s. There is NO way to keep both the goldfish and the tropical fish healthy in the same tank.

Fish often do not eat on the first day of a new environment, mainly due to trying to get accustomed to the new surroundings and tankmates. If they have not eatten by wednesday then you should be worried that they were poor quality fish when you bought them, or the shop keeps fish in poor quality water which leads to illness.
