Zoolander Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 I have been feeding him frozen food but he doesn't eat a ton of it. He spits more out then he eats so I bought him flakes thinking maybe he would like them but he won't even touch those. What do your clowns like?

andy Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 What kind of clown? My ocellaris eats just about everything.. mysis, gut-loaded brine shrimp, Rod's food, Arctipods. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoolander Posted April 18, 2008 Author Share Posted April 18, 2008 Same as yours, false perc. I have heard they are the least picky fish, I don't know what his deal is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsoz Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 try microcrabs freeze dried cyclopseze. I got mine at a "pet store" in their "fish section" (they only sold freshwater fish, but they had a good selection of dried food). http://www.drsfostersmith.com/product/prod_display.cfm?c=3578+7927+15535&pcatid=15535 My clowns know the color of the can. They can see when I pick it up, and they start to do the waggle dance for me. I call them my Labs of the Sea because when they get excited their whole body shakes just like my yellow lab dog. My other fish also eat it. The Foxfaced rabbitfish and the yellow tang fight over the small red dots that fall from the sky. It seems they both see the same one and they always try to out compete each other for it. Then they both see another one, and they race to get it. It would be funny if it wern't so sad. It seems that the only fish that I have (had) that did not go for it is the lawnmower bleney, and my hector's gobi (MIA since spring break). dsoz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishiefish Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 I have maroons...and they eat really well arctipods...formula one flake...and whatever I soak in this garlic immunity booster I bought...its suposed to enhance the taste and boost the immune system. I noticed a huge difference when I give them their food soaked in this..they go nuts. and through a super stressful move set up staying in a tank for three days with no filter or skimmer or bearly any water movement and then a tank tare down and redo of live rock...no ick no streesful fishies....everyone is happy and little piggies.
