New Ocellaris clown not eating

Hey guys just bought a pair of ocellaris, it keeps on spitting the food back and dosent eat...... its been 2 days now. any idea? i have called for cyclopeze and my marine flakes that i feed my other fish is over. so feeding FW fish pellets. they look healthy though....

 

My clown took a few days to start eating. As long as they are still looking healthy, they are just a little stressed from the move most likely. If they don't eat within the next few days i would check back in and let us know. Is their any bullying going on?

 

nope, there was a chromis that was bullying them but it was transfered to my sump and will stay there for long.

 

what are the most healthy non live foods for marine fishes, which keep the fishes immune system and health at its best and make them full lenght of life? many LFS here feed them only to keep them alive and they seel the same stuff to us. i dont mind going to singapore and getting them in bulk.

 

It's not uncommon for clowns to not eat for several days.

They seem to really like Mysis and Cyclopeez.

A clown in trouble will breath heavily at the surface, show frayed fins and hide.

 

Frozen foods (like mysis shrimp, krill, plankton, etc) are all good. Not sure if you are able to get those though. I have some freeze dried mysis shrimp that all of my fish go nuts over! You can also soak food in Selcon, which is a supplement. Soaking in garlic may also get a fish to eat, as well as help with the immune system.

Best thing (IMO) is a wide variety of nutritional foods.

 

iv read online that freez dried foods dont have much nutrients left in them....... and well im planning on making diy galric paste, soak food in it and then try to feed. as my cyclopeeze flakes have not yet come, might buy nori from a store..... keeping my fingers crossed...... i hate deaths....

 

Here are some of my suggestions:

Dry Food:
or

Frozen Food:
or
Supplement:
or +

 

By the way, try to turn off the lights for 24 hours, it may comforts the new clowns a bit.

 

Actually, I have heard the opposite. Freeze drying leaves more nutrients than even freezing. The nutritional analysis is certainly 'better' than frozen. I realize it will absorb some moisture back in, but for what it is I don't see anything wrong with it.
