I got a dwarf gourami, it's been more than a day and he isn't eating. He spits out everything, even the freeze dried foods. I was told he would eat anything. He is very shy, he hides in a corner and comes out only when i'm not looking. He is my first dwarf. In my 2 years of fishkeeping i have never had fish that refuse food for this long. Maybe I'm not giving it enough time?

Dwarf gouramis are rather shy, especially when they're new. Do you have other fish in the tank? Do you have plants for him to hide in? They really need plants and some floating ones as well. They also need a location where there's not too much action going on or loud noises.

Normally they do eat anything, but it might take awhile for them to settle down.

I found one thing that got my new dwarfs eating pretty quickly were frozen bloodworms.

Good luck with him! They have adorable personalities.
