    Default Clownfish not eating

    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:

    Mysis might be worth a bash.

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

    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.

    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 :) )
    .
    kids, if you drive down the road with your windows open, music blaring and you think you look cool.....

    Just remember, everybody looking at you is thinking "what a pratt" and laughing at you.

    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
