A. ocellaris getting thin

[reefman13]

I have a mated pair of clowns, and the male that I recently added is getting thin. He has indents on the sides of his head, and I am starting to find that I am able to see his skeleton.

I bought him from Petco, so that could be part of the problem, but if anyone has any ideas or thoughts for what I could do, please LMK.

Thanks.

Use garlic guard and selcon in the foods. Try to get it to eat cyclopeeze. It puts weight on my new clowns pretty fast.

I have been dosing food with garlic for the past week, which seems ot have made it worse if anything, because since I have added the garlic to their food, he has started getting thin.

I am looking into buying cyclopleeze tonight when I run out to PETCO to pick up a few things (nothing live, don't worry), and then when I am able too I will try to get some better quality cyclo.
