I have tried crushed dried plankton and crushed formula 1 hard pellets mixed with garlic oil and garlic pieces and the chromis ignores the food as if there was nothing dumped in the tank, this has been going on for 4 days. Is this normal? thanks

Maybe try some frozen brine or mysis shrimp, maybe some frozen cyclop-eeze with a little 'garlic xtreme' (works great for me, though not economic over the long run) In my experience, some fish are picky about dry/pellet food and take time to adjust to them.

Do you have only one? Not all of my 5 chromis ate when I got them. Some were skittish but became comfortable once they see the others eating. IMO, they like to be in groups (there has been some discussion about this).
