Just got my first fish!

EJMaguire · Aug 26, 2020

Just got this little guy! My water test came back great today and the specialist said today was the day to get my first fish! I put a pellet in and he didn't eat it. I asked the specialist and he said wait 24/48 hours before expecting him to want to eat in a new tank. The pellets I got sink right away. Should I stick to these or get flakes? Also...

I NEED NAME IDEAS!!!

Also, I think he likes his new home. He found a little spot to snuggle and sleep!!

(He looks like a “Randolph” or “Cornelius” to me— don’t ask me why.) Congratulations! ;Cat

I know it may seem "extra" but frozen food (or live) is best! Welcome to reef2reef and that is a beautiful clown.

Welcome and congrats on your first fish!

Congrats! Hope he’ll get eating soon! I’ve never really heard of Clowns being picky eaters unless they’re new or sick. Any plans to pair him up so maybe he becomes the she? xD

Nice looking clown!

It took my new clowns 24 hours to eat. I feed frozen brine soaked in garlic. They couldn't resist. Now they come right to the top of the tank when I walk by.

Welcome to R2R! Let's see a full tank shot!

Some spiralina enriched brine soaked in selcon will probably get an appetite response!!! Welcome to R2R!!! He looks like “Flash” to me! Hehe

I'd go as far as finding out what the store was using to feed it. Also theres a ton of people on here that go to asian markets and make their own frozen food. Super easy and cheap, get a small silicon ice cube tray and a cheap blender.
