    It might depend on how much beer I had before I was "snatched up" ;D


    Each of my clowns ate within 48 hours of being placed in my DT. Pellets (sometimes soaked in garlic) are the staple of the diet but I'll sometimes feed a little frozen mysis/squid/blend just to supplement and offer variety. I have no skimmer or heavy filtration so feeding frozen often is out of the question. As others have noted, I wouldn't worry until the week mark.

    Totally agreed. Works for me every time. Once my fish get an 'accidental' bite of Omega One flakes, they go crazy on it.

    I have had good luck with cyclopeez, with newer, smaller clown fish.
