Clowns wont eat

[patrick1234]

They are a mated pair of true percula clowns.

They are fat and had been eating when picked up. Now they spend all day swiming at the front of the glass they do not try to hide when you put the net in the tank nor do they have trouble swiming. I have tried feeding omega one with no luck try soaking it in garlic no luck. fresh scallops squid and silver side blended and soaking it in garlic. I also try live brine shrimp and they did not even care. The other tank mate a yellow head sleeper goby eats just fine. Thanks for the help.

Do you know what they were eating before and was that one of the things you tried? Have you talked to the seller to find out what their feeding schedule was like?

Maybe they are just getting adjusted and not ready to eat? Just trying to put a few ideas out there since I hadn't seen a response to your posts yet. They don't look stressed in the pic, as far as I can tell. How are they now?

They had been eating frozen brine/flake/and omega one pellets. The are still swiming around they like to stay right next to the glass rubing on it off and on.

thanks for the reply.
