Help! Percs. NOT EATING

[TruonkQ]

I just recently bought a pair of percs, which seemed to do very well together the first night. The next day the smaller one decided to move away up closer to the top while the bigger one stays with the anenome. The big one ate the first night, but little one didn't. Now tonight both decided not to eat and noticed that there was some damages on the smaller one's fin. What should i do? Seperate them both smaller one in the fuge?

Need sugestions ASAP! thx

what kind of food are you feeding?

[TruonkQ]

hi steveo. I tried to feed it frozen brine mixed with kent garlic and zoe/ zoecon. Other fish are eating perfectly fine and corals are doing great.

hmmm.. ill try live brine, but the larger clown was eating frozen/ zoomax/ liquid life and then it stopped any reason why?

TruonkQ, dont worry if your percs dont eat right away. They are known for not eating when you purchase them. Its perfectly normal and common, give them a few days. Also, the biting its normal aswell, you will notice some "seizure" like movements from one of the clowns, thats just a way to show submission to the other clown, they are just establishing who is gonna be the boss..Hope this helps.
