what do you feed your clowns?
 

i cant seem to get mine to eat, i bought a frozen mix of mysis, brine and krill
they swim up to it but dont eat it, one sometimes eats a piece and then spits it out

Mine likes my fingers :rolleyes:

seriously, maybe try making the food a little bit smaller. When my clarkii clowns were little (and still cute) they had trouble eating the larger pieces of food and would just carry it around for a while and then drop it.

have you tried live brine yet my clowns love it.

no, where do you get live brine?

brine
 

i get my live brine from lfs.but you can hatch them as well just takes a bit of patience.

Yes the smaller the fish-the smaller the food :biggrin:

I give my pair a mix of small spirulina flakes as well as enriched brine as mysis is simply too large for the juvinile clowns.

I hope they were eating when you purchased them :neutral:

Pellet's
 

When ours were small they really liked Formula One Pellet's made by Ocean Nutrition. Now they like everything.......

The only thing my maroon won't eat now is the green flakes in the 4 flake frenzy my LFS carries. He chows down on brine, mysis, bloodworms and occasionally steals the chunks of shrimp that I have for my anemone.

well im going to pick up something else today and i hope they eat

one tip i'd recommend for those finicky fish is to soak the food in some freshly crushed garlic....sounds weird, but it does work most of the time...i know a few reefers who swear by this...

just crush up the garlic roughly, throw into a shot glass, then throw in some tank water and the food....stir, and let sit for a short while, then toss the garlic out and feed the fish.
