Suggestion for feeding picky eaters

My new pair of Bangai cardinals doesn't seem to want to eat. I've tried flake, frozen mysis and brine shrimp but so far they've turned up their noses at everything. Does anyone know where I can buy some live brine? Or have any tips on getting them to eat?
 
You could try some sinking pellets soaked in garlic.  My cardinals prefer pellets to flake.  Worth trying.
 
You could try LRS Reef Frenzy, Rod's, or PE Mysis (if that's not the mysis you're using already). To make it more enticing, don't rinse it. I've also heard fish eggs like Reef Nutrition ROE can be irresistible.It could also be that they're still a little freaked by the new living arrangements.
