Clownfish not eating

[hessfish]

Hi all. Okay so I have had my tank set up with fish for around a month and a week. I just recently added a beautiful (and expensive) clown fish. He ate almos immodestly after I put him in the tank but he's never eaten again. I have one other clown (both false percs) and he eats like a fiend and so does my damsel. The new clown is pretty active and actully brought the other clown "out of his shell" but she still wot eat
Iv feed him formula one flake food as well as formula one frozen.
The tank peramiters were all good until I added the fish, but that's expected and they're on their way down again.
Thanks!

Personally, I would stop feeding flake food (or only use it as an occassional treat); it's usually high in phosphates & raises nitrates more as it decomposes. Switch it out for pellets & Rod's frozen food. How are the clowns getting along? Any aggression? What size are they?

Well I got them pellet food and so far the big ones eating it! So thanmakes me happy.
You asked about their aggressiveness. The big fish which now I'm assuming is the female is being a lot more aggressive the past week and the little one does that shaking thing which I have heard is a good thing. I'm aiming for children eventually

Good deal! It sounds like you're well on your way to a mated pair. Now, just sit back & enjoy the free show! Clownfish behavior is facinating to watch. Be on the lookout if larger one's aggression gets brutal & you see some torn fins or tail; & if that happens, separate them...Good luck!
