Clown question? Help!!!

[WhoDatDSant]

I had purchased 2 ocelaris clowns from reefs2go since theres no LFS near where I live. So they are pretty tiny. One of them is maybe an inch long at most, the other is smaller than him. I put them in my 50 gallon tank and they seem to swim around on the top of the tank. There main place they like to hangout is above my doubleheaded powerhead in the top corner of my tank.

1.) Should I keep them in that tank or place them in my 10 gallon till they grow a little larger???
Didn't know if the current was to strong for them, tho they seem pretty happy in their corner lol.

2.) What's a good food for them? I have only kept damsels. I feed them a mix of flakes, dried brine shrimp, and dried blood worms. Never owned a clown so any info would be greatly appreciated.

Same food
Give them some time they do that when new

Like Bob said "give them time"

They will eventually warm up to their surroundings. I purchased Fauna Marin's Clown Food. And by fair I feel this food does the job. Yes, any marine food will do, but I am a believer after feeding and seeing the results of a healthy clown. Best of luck!

I recently got some clownfish - my first ever. they really seem to eat anything that i provide them. After just a few days as soon as they see the turkey baster inserted into the tank, they are aready to eat. As I slowly "release" the food into the water, they snatch the food. Its amazing and satisfying. I wish my 4 year old son ate as well.
