Feeding a New fish in QT

moneymm · 10/30/2014, 02:18 PM

so I have my first fish, a small/medium b&w occelarius clown, and a nano occ clown.

I have them setup for tank transer method in Tank 1.

what should my feeding schedule be? i am using sinking pellets.

I fed them this morning, saw the b&w eat one pelllet, but the rest are just sitting on the bottom of the tank.

should i remove this leftover food w/ a net? if so, when?

should i feed them again today? or let them pick at the food thats in there whenever they want it?

they were sticking to bottom corner of tank for the first 12 hours, but now roaming around great, have yet to venture in the pvc pipes setup for them.

It may take a day or so for the fishes to settle down and eat. I personally remove any food after a few minutes if it uneaten. Good luck
