clown won't eat anything

[blubutterflyz]

I've had a false perc clown in my tank for about 4 weeks now and he won't eat anything. He's getting really thin. I've tried everything...flakes, pellets, mysis shrimp, brine shrimp(frozen and freeze dried). But he won't eat it. He just spits it back out. Anyone have any suggestions as to what else I can try? Thanks!

I feed mine frozen "brine shrimp plus" by Ocean Nutrition. They were eating it the 2nd day I had them & now they almost jump out of the water to get it! Good luck.

Thanks for the suggestions I'll have to try some garlic. Hopefully that will work.

does hte clown seem to sink to the bottom?? Very odd that it won't eat. Also - try breaking your food up into a very very small portion so it will be extremely small!
