Won't eat

[ahud]

How long is typical for a new clown fish not to eat?

I bought two small clownfish on Thursday and it has been 2 full days and they have not eaten.

My food order from drfosterandsmith does not come in until tomorrow. I have been trying to feed Omega one marine flakes.

I got my clowns from a friend. It took them a good few days to get comfortable and eat. I tried all sorts of foods, they'd nip but that is all. After about 3-4 days they were eating. A week later they were pigs. Oddly they like flake more than frozen.. but mysis is an exception.

Hopefully they are eating for you by now!

My clowns took maybe a day or three to start eating, now when u open up the top of the tank they think you have food since they're pigs. Hope your clowns are eating well.
