clowns

[smithy]

Hi i just bought a pair of ocellaris clowns (nemo's) and they really dont seem to interested in eating. i asked the store owner today and they told me that they are quite timid at first and they will be sure to eat in a few days just wondering what your guys think is this true i have only tried to feed it pellets.

WE have four clowns... We've never had a problem feeding them. In fact, they would probably eat themselves until they burst if we let them.

I would not try feeding them pellets (what kind of pellets are you trying to feed them anyway???). Go to the store and get some "Formula One" made by a company called "Ocean Nutrition". They should eat that right up and it will be good for them too.

One word of advise with the clownfish: Be sure that you have a heater in your tank, because they really do not like temperature swings.

Mysis shrimp is also a good choice for food as most all fish will eat this.
