clown fish

Please take no harm in what you are about to read.

Take the advice that has already been reiterated by several members, including myself; new fish are known to not eat for days upon weeks when introduced to new environments.

One of the most basic rules in purchasing fish, in general, is to have the lfs/Seller feed the fish in your presence, BEFORE purchase.

One of the best ways to get a fish to eat, is to have other fish in the tank that it sees eating food; this will encourage it investigate and experiment with foods it sees others eating. It does take time for adjustments.

In worst cases, non-eating is a factor and contributor to the overall stress and poor condition, which the fish will 'die-off' and/or mysteriously dissppear without a trace. Not your fault!

If this 'Clown' is causing you this much distress... don't get a mandarin... smile... my mandarin drove me insane... lol
