Clown not eating.

My clown has not eaten any food since I bought him Sunday. Should I worry. He seems pretty active and he will go to look at the food when it falls close to him but quickly turns away.

 

Try something different. Call the fish store it came from an ask what they were feeding it.

 

try adding garlic to the food, ex. garlic extreme. As geekdafied said, mix it up. Is it tank raised?

 

I bought what they used. The sinking pellets. I have also tried flake and no results either.

 

It is tank raised ocellaris

 

Being tank raised and in GA, more then likely they came from my buddies shop in East TN... He feeds cyclop-eeze as weining foods. Try to get some dry cyclopeeze and feed it a small amount every couple of days and offer it something else inbetween. Once it starts eating other, stop using cyclopeeze.

Thats exactly what I did and have told many others who got fish from them to do and works like a charm.

 

I will try and find some. Thanks my peeps.

 

I have found that my picky eaters love the frozen mysis shrimp.

 

i just tried that to maybe he is just still adjusting

 

My LFS does not have cyclop -eeze but they said they just have cyclop will this work
