I just started a 10 gallon tank, it currently has:
6 guppies (2 female / 4 male)
2 peacock (1 female / 1 male)
3 livebearers (all male)
and 3 shrimp

everything's going fine up until feeding time, the guppies and livebearers are eating the flakes and freeze dried bloodworms however, the gudgeon's haven't eaten at all since i bought them 2 days ago.

and i'm afraid they're too shy to eat with the guppies? is there something specific i should be feeding them? i've been reading several different websites on the gudgeons but it says that they can be picky and probably prefer live food, however, living in Illinois it's quite difficult to find live bloodworms and what not. (i'm also afraid that if i put live food in there, the guppies will eat it all before the gudgeons are able to get to it)

any suggestions?
