2 new tr percs

[cheapfish1]

hey guys i just bought my first fish, 2 tru percs or atleast i think they are trues. My question though is i had bought some mysis shrimp as that is what they were fed at the store but is this the best for them, or should i switch to something else. How many shrimp should they usually get in the day. Or can i just put like 25 in there and let the shrimp swim until they get eaten.
any help greatly appreciated

and also is it normal activity that they are like only at the front of the tank and constantly swimming.

Mine have always been at the front of the tank, and fish do constantly swim. The only time my Clown relaxes is when he's chilling in his Colt Coral.
As far as food, variety is best. It sounds like you bought like mysis shrimp? You don't want to throw in too many. Just a few and see if the Clown eats them. If he does, add a few more. But don't over-feed.
You should also definitely get them to eat frozen an non live foods (freeze dried, flakes). There's lots of good stuff out there. Try a few things and see what your Clowns like.

ok yeah i did buy mysis shrimp, and some flakes and formula 2 pellets. The pellets they wont touch cause they just sink to the bottom. The flakes they only eat after the filter sends them into the water in which time they attack. But they only get one or 2 bites in.
