I think my fish is an idiot

[Deadlocked]

Hello all. I bought a blue eyed cardinal. Its the only fish in my tank right now. Ive tried feeding him pellets and mysis. He doesn't bat an eye at the pellets. The mysis he'll notice eat sometimes and then spit out. Tried mixing the mysis with garlic it didn't change anything.

A bunch of bubbles blew out of my little baster and he went crazy for the bubbles. So does he have trouble seeing? Is he super picky? Is he sick? Thanks in advance. Thanks

Cardinals are particular. Mysis is least favorite of mine. Try Brine shrimp, LRS fish frenzy, chopped krill and plankton AND they will not eat dry foods

How long have they been in the tank? My wrasse for example took almost 3 weeks to settle in before they were regularly eating.

My clown on the other hand know that I feed both pellets and frozen. I'll drop some pellets, it'll grab one, spit it out as a smaller chunk then watch it float down to the sandbed and come back to the surface looking at me like "what the heck*** am I supposed to do with this?"

Do you mix all of them together?
