What size tank are they in? Are they the only ones in the tank? Was the tank newly set-up? Was the tank "cycled". All of this can have an effect on fish eating. Other wise, they should eat most anything.

You bought my Cobalt and Red zebra's.
(Which I must say you got at a steal!)
I fed them new life spectrum 1mm cichlid pellets. And twice a week they got brine shrimp as a snack.

Once they settle down they should eat pellets and flakes...

I usually find that sinking pellets work best when trying to feed fish that are new to a tank. It seems like if you feed them floating pellets, they will not come up since they are a little shy. With the pellets sinking, they just dash out grab a couple and go back to their hiding spot.

Don't worry too much they will get hungry. They generally can go up to a week + without food. After a couple days they will settle down.

Fish that are used to NLS typically refuse other food for quite some time. YOu might want to pick up a small jar of it and gradually work your food into it. Eventually eliminating the NLS. Or just switching them over to NLS.
Fish can go a LONG timw with out food. 3 weeks or so...
I dont' recommend this... but don't get worried for quite soem time.
83 is a bit on the high side IMO....

Hey Sarah, I keep my 75gal african tank at 83 to prevent ich.
But the temp varies with activity in the tank, lights, vents, etc. It usually stays around 81-83.
Good point on slowly adding it to their diet, then getting rid of it. Seems logical that it should work.
*Also noted, kind of wierd they didn't take the flakes. I fed them cichlid flakes as well.
