Clownfish not eating

[Alex d]

Hi guys, posting again after buying new food for my clownfish. They are still not eating the food I buy for them. So far I tried frozen foods, bribe shrimp, and the omega one garlic pellets. The only thing they will eat are some the small broken up pieces of brine shrimp.

How long have you had the clown?

How large is the clown? If its pretty small consider checking if your LFS has hatchery pellet.

Here is a link to such a food on BRS.

If he is eating (though small bits) it should be ok. Some take a week to get comfortable in their new tank.

Does it show an interest in the food? I think it'll be ok if it's eating a little bit. Mine eat the Omega One pellets but only the mini size. They spit out the small size.

They are about an inch and a quarter big

Yes they show an interest of food and only eat the brine shrimp that are very small pieces

That's a start. I would feed them a few times a day to help build up their size.
