quarantine to main tank

[tdsounds]

I have a midas blenny and a mystery wrasse that has been healthy in a quarantine tank for two months. I just put them in the main display yesterday, they are swimming around, but when I try to feed they dont seem interested. They are the only two fish in there besides the clean up crew. All the paramters in the main display are good. Is this a normal thing for them to not eat untill a couple of days?

It took my Midas Blenny a few days before he was brave enough to venture out for food. Now he goes nots when it's feeding time, like he's in an eating competition.

I guess the getting use to thing starts all over again.

Yep. Pretty much any time an animal's environment changes, it requires some "down-time" to recover and re-establish itself and it's new territory. Also, there is probably a lot of food in your display already (pods, crustaceans, worms, algae, etc.) and your new additions could last quite a few days on these natural populations before requiring the addition of prepared foods.
