Re: Clown fish wont eat
Sometimes it just takes awhile. Stop feeding before you pollute your tank, I would just try again tommorow.

Re: Clown fish wont eat
Give it a few days. A lot of times, new fish need time to adjust which most of the time includes not eating. If he is still not eating after a few days, see if he is showing any signs of stress or disease. Did you quarantine the fish before you put it in your DT?
I would recommend quarantining new additions before putting them in your main tank. Current Aquarium(s) Description: 80 Gal. Experience in Saltwater & Reef Aquarium Hobby: 2 years Other Intrests: Drums, sports, camping, astronomy and computers.

Re: Clown fish wont eat
I also agree to give it time. They can take several days to adjust to their new homes.

Re: Clown fish wont eat
Too many little bones will get stuck in your teeth.Like others said,give the clown a couple of days then if it still not eating,try some garlic extract.It helps with finicky eaters.
