Clownfish Aren't Eating

After adding my Clownfish back to my DT about a week ago after a bunch of tank problems were fixed, I noticed that he wasn't eating. I also added a Black Clownfish two days ago, and he isn't eating either. Is this normal? I've tried feeding them frozen Mysis Shrimp, which my first Clownfish always ate, and Sustainable Aquatics Dry Hatchery Diet, which my LFS was feeding the Black Clownfish. Both foods are just floating around the tank right now.

Any help would be appreciated

 

any sign of illness other than the lack of apetite?

 

None whatsoever, although the first Clownfish seems to open his mouth just a bit more than usual. His mouth isn't gaping or anything like that, though. They both seem to be swimming around happily.

 

you might try some frozen brine (preferably gut-loaded) just to get them eating and then slowly add in mysis. you also might add garlic to the brine. This is supposed to stimulate feeding in some fish.

 

Could I use fresh garlic? What do you think caused them to stop eating?

 

probably but i just use the Kent garlic extreme.

 

You can if you turn it into a liquid concentrate. You would want to use very little, as it will be stronger than a store bought product.

 

i don't know why they stopped eating.

 

Thanks for your help. I'll try the garlic Should I add it to the Mysis Shrimp?

 

yes but i would try the brine as well. it has less nutritional value than the mysis but fish seem to love it. i have seen people compare it to popcorn which is probably a good comparison. but it would just be to get them eating. you don't want to make brine their only food.
