New Black O. Clown

[BigBen14]

Well I got a Black O. Clown with my tank and have a few questions.

I have 3 Blue/Green Chromis, 1 Blue Sapphire Damsel.

When feeding time comes around the 4 other fish are very energetic and rush to food where as the Clown takes his time and dont really eat that much that I can see. Im afraid it is not eating enough. Any way of knowing?

He seems to be happy and his color seem bright. It is constaly swiming so I think so.

No worries he'll get more aggressive as time goes on and will likely be ruling the tank. Fish really don't need a great deal of food to survive.

+1

There are alot of people that feed once a day, or even every other day.

my clowns can go on a 7x feeding a day and gobbling up to not eating for a few days.
Give it some time, if if it gets skinny, picked on or sick all of a sudden, then worry and take care of the problem.

Feed in one corner of the tank. All the aggressive feeders will go to that corner. Then quickly feed in the opposite corner. This should give the more timid fish a chance to get some food.

Ahh ok guess its just me being nervous

Other question if I get a Ocellaris Clownfish can I mix him with the black Ocellaris Clownfish?

 

[elegance coral]
