Picky Clownfish

So, my clownfish doesn't like flake food or brine shrimp. Should I try some type of live food? I mean, he'll put the food in his mouth and just spit it back out.

Im all like

then I'm like D:

 

How long have you had him?

 

Have you tried frozen food?

 

Try some frozen mysis shrimp or something. You can also try soaking the food in garlic to entice him.

 

I wouldn't eat flake food either..At least throw me a dead piece of shrimp..damn.

 

I've had him for about a week now. He swims great and established his own territory already. I'll drop by the LFS and pick up some frozen food. I'm glad I found this forum. You all help me a lot

 

Sometime it takes a week or two for a new fish to begin eating. Do worry too much, he'll probably start eating soon.

 

If your feeling adventurous ,try some table shrimp or scallops ...you'll have to finely chop them of course....you should also try krill,again ,finely chopped....

Haha. I'll admit that I laughed out loud when I read that. I got some table shrimp so I'll try dosing that with some garlic.

 

Personally i would not use the garlic,maybe as a last resort,but 1 week is not all that long for a new fish to not eat...
