    clownfish not eating?

    I've had this clown fish (false perc) for about a week now and she's not really eating. She's swimming well, looks healthy, but just does not eat. I have tried frozen brine, and flakes, but nothing attracts her. Water params are fine. She's the only fish in the tank now, so I can't compare with other fishes.

    Suggestions?

    Can you post a little more info on your tank-age and water parameters.
    I realize that you have stated that they are fine but this is not saying a whole lot. On a different note,have you tried some formula 1 or some live brine maybe? I never had an experience with clownfish not eating but generally speaking, fish will not eat if stressed or acclimating or food is the wrong type. Beyond that, consider my post as a bump untill someone else replies with more detailed info.

    Kind regards,

    Gene.

    How's your clownfish doing? I don't have anything to offer either, all the clownfish I've gotten were tank raised and were voracious eaters from the beginning. So I'm hoping that by now your problem has been solved and your fish is eating well. Let us know.
    The road to hell is paved with good intentions, but it's the thought that counts.
