Clownfish Help!

[fish r friends]

I got my clownfish like 2 days ago and he hasnt been eating his flakes so i tried feeding him mysis shrimp and he wont eat that either, what shoould i do!

2 days isnt all that long that I would be that worried about it yet, but there are few questions we'd need answers to.
Did you see him eat at the store?
How did you acclimate it to your tank?
What are your water parameters?

Try feeding him ocean nutrition formula one pellets. My clowns only eat pellets. No mysis, brine shrimp or frozen food.

soak the food in vitamins to entice him to eat.

Please post your water readings. How does the fish look? Is he being chased? Does he seem interested at all in the food?

My clowns eat pretty much anything but really like the pellets. What other fish do you have? Does he even go towards the food? If so is your current to strong? I will turn my pumps off every other feeding so the food isn't going everywhere. JMO
Good luck,
