False Percula not eating

brayden · 04/05/2008, 10:27 PM

I just bought 2 false percula's at my LFS.One Larger than the other. I can't seem to get the smaller one to eat. Any Ideas? I have tried Brine, Formula One and soaked both in garlic formula.

give it some time - they are probably still stressed and acclimating to your tank conditions.

I agree. They also need to get hungy enough to eat this new strange stuff in their tank.

Clowns can take a while to start eating aggressively.

Let them soak in . it takes a while for clowns to start eating sometimes.
