clown Juvi help needed.

[Norboo]

I got a pair of Ocellris Clowns little under an inch yesterday. They haven't eaten of yet. I feed them Formula one flacks, Cyclop-eeze flacks, cut up squid, osyster, seaweed, Mysis shrimp, and brian shrimp. They didn't even stop to look at them.

They just swim around and around the whole tank none stop.

Thank is FO with sand (not live sand) bottom and many places to hide.

What should I do?

Give them some time to get used to their new home. They will probably start eating within a few days.

I agree, clowns are funny like that, they take a few days to get used to their surroundings and get comfortable enough to take some food. Give them some time and they should be fine. BTW, did you ask you LFS to try and feed them b4 you purchased them?

live brine shrimp

My little false percs did the same thing. I went out and bought them live brine shrimp (as suggested above by capefear) and they were gobbling that up in no time. After that, they readily ate everything I put in there! I've only had them about a month, and they've already doubled in size. Cute little buggers.
