It usually takes a few days for a new fish to start eating. She'll get the hang of it before long. Clowns are not picky eaters, in my experience.

I would open up the top, slam your face into the water and scream "EAT YOU F@#$%# CLOWN!!!!".
Seriously though, just give her time... she's probably just stressed from the change of scenery.

Just give it some time, it will take a couple of days to adapt, then they'll eat like crazy.

I find that a clown.. even if stressed and getting used to new surroundings.. will instinctively peck at very tiny flake.. if its too big.. they will spit it out, but if u crush some flake up really small, and it drifts across their face.... nature takes over...
