new clown fish won't eat

Ok, so we picked up a mated pair of percula clowns on Saturday. The lfs told us they may not eat right away but its been 4 days now and they still haven't ate. The male ate one brine but the female looks at it and swims away. We tried flakes and they won't go for that either Any suggestions? They seem totally healthy they swim around and everything.

 

You could try a garlic soak, garlic guard or garlic extreme, my clowns know when im bout to pour in some rods food soaked in garlic cause they see the container as compared to the days i feed pellets

 

Give them a little more time. If not, try live brine shrimps.

i would try the garlic or even frozen blood worms. my pair of clowns were shipped to me and they wouldn't eat at first, i got them started with the frozen blood worms.

 

you could try cyclops my clownfish love that. both pairs of mine didnt eat for about a day but they did come around and will eat just about anything

 

do you actually soak the food in garlic? I'll try that one next. This morning I found them in the corner, the female swimming up in place and the male below her swimming down. I hope thats just them doing "weird" clown fish stuff and not something bad :-\. They were out and around the whole 90 last night.

 

I tried the garlic stuff and she still doesnt eat I don't know what else to do.

 

Cyclop-eeze if you have access to it. If you were closer I would cut you off a hunk of mine. My clown goes NUTS over this stuff. They're so tiny so I didn't expect the reaction from the clown. Coloring has become quite brilliant as well!
