Hey everyone clowns didn't eat yesterday or today still settling in, when should I be worried? How long can they go and be ok? Any advise appreciated! Thanks

Mine didnt eat the day I got them. They actually ate the second day but in the evening. I was TRFS yesterday at about 5pm and those clowns were still there. I think they had already eaten for the day so I wouldnt have expected them to eat yesterday. I would try again later today once your lights are on for a while. Also, what are you trying to feed them? I think Jason fed them mysis.

looking good danny.
wow im glad i told you to test your new tank 1st.
lol this is like a T.R.F.S clown reunion.

far as food goes i feed them spectrum,mysis,brine shrimp.
when i fed them in front of you it was spectrum.
make shure your old clown pair is not harassing them in that holding tank.
if they are you might want to let them out so they can hide and clam down.
and ya like juan said i just fed them right b4 you came so dont strees out to much.
keep a good eye on them and if for some reason you cant get them to eat i got some live and dead pod's down here fish cant Resist.
good luck bro those are some of the nicest clowns i have ever seen.

Thanks!!! I am unfortunately gone till fri and having my girlfriend watch the. Closely! I'll tell her to feed them all different types of food ... I can't wait to get home and make sure they are ok. Haha I feel like I left my baby at home alone ! So do u think those other clowns will bug them and stress them?
