Clown Fish Guidance

[mshollenberger]

Hey folks -

I purchased two percula clowns last week. One seems to have acclimated fine, the other hides in corners with fins down and I have not seen him eat yet.

Any thoughts or suggestions.

Thanks

you want to get him to eat asap.. try soaking pellets, flakes, brineshrimp in garlic. he should eat that. have you tried a variety of foods? what kind and call the fish store you got him from and ask what they feed so you can get the same thing.

Thanks very much. I have tried both frozen brine shrimp and pellets. I will try garlic. I will call the fish store today.

He seems much better today. His fins are up and he is eating. I did notice the white stringy feces which I hear can be a sign of an infection. Thoughts?
