How to get my clownfish eating

[vetteguy53081]

Start with the enticers. . . Live food.
Try to find live brine shrimp. If no luck, try frozen mysis or spirulina brine shrimp. Once eating, you can graduate into other formula type foods. Assure the water temp is not too warm and salinity is 1.024-1.025 as these two factors in addition to many will curb their appetitie

I have the frozen food but I remember the one time I fed it the params went a little whacky. I can try again though...

frozen tends to be much better than pellets nutrient wise, think of a pellet as carton orange juice and frozen as the whole orange fruit, the pellet is a very condensed form of food.

Sounds as you were feeding too much anyway, if the clowns had enough food to spit it out to eat later, either that or they didn't particularly like the pellets and only eat them when they are very hungry.

Anyway I think you just need to give them more time, as you said they were in qt more than the display, they need time to adjust.

I fed the mysis today. They gulped down a bunch, so at least they are eating that.
