well first, you just added them. Many fish dont eat right away. At this point, i wouldnt even worry. I've seen fish take up to a week before they even start picking at the food you offer.

But for the record, what food are you feeding?

What food are u feeding? Are they wild caught or tank bred? What type of clown?

I had trouble getting wild clowns to eat.

You may want to try cyclop-eze. That seems to stimulate their eating response.

I just got a OC clown about a week ago, and he didnt eat any of the food i had for him for 2-3 days but now he is loving the ocean nutrition formula one im feeding him. Just wait it out and see if he just needs to find his bearings in the new home.
