Clownfish not eating after move to DT?

[Rangerbob86]

I recently moved a pair of clownfish from a 20 gallon quarantine tank to my 180 gallon display tank. They had no issues in quarantine and ate everything I put in there. Now, they haven't eaten in two days. I've tried all sorts of pellets and frozen food, but they won't touch it. They definitely see the food, they just have no interest in it. Any ideas of how to get them eating again?

Sounds like they are still getting adjusted to the new surroundings. Ive had really good luck useing PE mysis of any other type of mysis. Just give them a few more days.

I agree, they should be eating in a few days, just have to get used to their new home.

i just went through this last week... my clown would just stay in the corner of the tank near the sand bed... almost like he was hosting the sand. I was over feeding because he wasn't eating anything, he would eat some food but just spit it out. But then about a week after i added him he started eating normal like nothing was ever wrong and now he swims all over the tank!

Great thanks for the help! Mine are doing the exact same thing now (spitting mysis back out) so hopefully they start eating normally again soon!

Almost every clown I have ever had did this on intro, did not eat first couple/few days, that should change soon.
