clownfish wont eat...looking for suggestions

[Ross]

I got 2 true percs last saturday from blue zoo aquatics. One is eating great and the other one just won't eat anything I feed. I've tried flakes, the food blue zoo sends with the fish, frozen crab bits, and a frozen mix i bought at the lfs. I've even tried garlic and it still won't eat. Any suggestions? All parameters are good.

standard frozen mysis?

Try frozen brine. I had the same problem, started with mysid, one would eat and one would spit it out. Got some frozen brine and both attacked it. Now i got both of them eating pellets, mysid and brine. I can hand feed them too. Been doing great for two months now. HTH

I had a Chrysurus Angel that went 2 weeks before eating flake. If the fish are fat I would not worry it may take him some time to settle and start eating

you could also try live brine and when it starts eating, put some frozen mysis in with the live brine to get it used to frozen food.

Bloodworms always seem to work with picky fish.
