new clowns won't eat

[dockmasterjc]

Hi guys, I just got 2 false percula's on saturday. They seem to be shy and still have not eaten anything yet. I got some Omega flake and the guy at the LFS recommended. He said they were not fussy and would eat anything. Any ideas? These are my first fish and would hate to lose them. They swim in one corner and don't stray very far. Thanks!

Try frozen brine shrimp.

Also, it is not an unusual request to ask the LFS to see the fish eat before you buy them. If they refuse, don't buy the fish.

Give them some time. They will eat once they settle into their new environment.
