2 new clowns not eating

[pweezy42]

so i introduced 2 clowns into my tank which is now 3 weeks old, when i first put them in they were very wildy swimming since they have slowed down i have tried feeding them tetra color marine flakes and frozen brine shrimp but neither eat when i add it to the tank. i tryed not feeding them yesterday to see what they would do today and nothing. i have turned off both powerheads as well so the food wouldnt fly all over the place. is this normal or should i try and feed them something diff?

When did you get them?

try live brine shrimp and cyclops... Whatever small food you can get your hands on I would try..

What does your water chemistry look like?

They may be just acclimating still and if so they should start eating soon. Some fish take weeks to start eating when introduced to new systems. Just depends. +1 to the live food sometimes that's the best way to get them started then they'll eventually moving to prepared foods. Good luck
