Clownfish not eating

[GIBBO]

Every other fish is eating,including the male clownfish.The female seems fine except she will not leave the Anenome alone.She looks at the food introduced but ignores it,she is usually the first to get the food.Early this morning when the anenome closed up i checked the area for eggs and not one in sight,just thought she was minding some.
The Clownfish are wild Percs by the way.Scratches my head:confused:

Couple of q's before I answer, how long have you had the clowns and what have you tried to feed her?

[GIBBO]

Hi Gillybaby.I have had the clowns for 13 months now.i have been feeding flake and SPIRULINA ENRICHED BRINE SHRIMP.She has been eating this but now will not eat anything.

[MR Teee]

Mysis might be worth a bash.

Even some of the more difficult to feed fish that I have experienced have succumbed to mysis.

Just thawing some mysis now MrTee.Thanks for advice.

[Gillybaby]

Yup, mysis might work. My clowns also love Cyclopeeze, might be worth trying some of that too. Very odd that she's stopped feeding though. Might just be one of those things and she'll be fine in a day or so. Definitely worth trying a few different things to entice her.

[GIBBO]

Thanks Gilly,i will be adding a little Mysis soon.I will let you know what happens.Christ this hobby must be worst than having kids:D

[Electric Monk]

Agree with the above, Everybody loves Mysis. Mine also go's for "Interpet Marine fish Granules" (each to their own, nothing else in the tank likes it :) )

Hi I treat my fish like humans when they are not eating, not very often with my lot. I leave them and when they are hungry they will eat, make sure that with tempting them with all this food you dont pollute your tank. HTH. Eric

How's that fish getting on Carl? Hope it's ok now :confused:

[TerraC]

yeah hows it going? another product worth a try is a small bottle of Zoecon, soak the food in this my fish love it.

Have you tried different types of food? I usually keep 6 varietys of frozen and 4 different flake types to feed at random, gives the fish a varied diet and something to think about on a daily basis :D

[GIBBO]

She took food for the first time on saturday since i started this thread.At first she had a go at some flake,then later i put some Mysis in the tank and she took that too,so fingers crossed she has got her appetite back.

I introduced Brine shrimp,flake and Mysis TerraC.Also noted your idea just in case TerraC cheers.

It must be the new lighting Chris:)

I have put a pic of her on here.Women hey:rolleyes:

[Blue]

Aw, that's great news Carl. Nice pic also. You got any more :)

[SteveS]

nice pic Carl, glad to hear shes feeding now, my female clown loves frozen cockle(gamma foods). garlic works well for finicky feeders too.

all my fish like a good mix of frozen and alternate between flake every other day

nice to meet you the other day in MT, hows the new lights, hint hint..pic:)

[GIBBO]

Nice to meet you too Steve.The new lights look brilliant,worth saving up for:D I will take some pics at the weekend.

The Clown is still feeding and been very nice to her male friend(touchwood)

I was looking at buying a clam this year but somebody in here said they do not get on with Flame Angels,so will have to see hey;)
