Clowns

[tuna dan]

I just got a pair of clowns about 1.5 inches long they seem fine during the day they are always together but at night they seem to sepreate one sleeps behind the rocks and the other stays in the corner is this normal?

Doesn't sound un-normal. Give them a while... but they may always sleep alone.

KK thanks and another question I am trying to get them to eat flakes but they do not seem interested in it should i go get some frozen brine or what not?

 

[reefnut]

No brine, brine are not nutritious at all. You could try frozen formula 1 or 2... something like that.

Mysis also is good for clowns. It is a good idea to get liquid vitamin supplements to add to it when soaking in water (Vita Chem or Selcon are both great)

Maybe, maybe not. They will eventually get togeather once they figure out that there are no other clowns around. As far as hosting, captive bred clowns usually will not host in an anemone. Not to mention that anemones require pristine water and very intense lighting to survive.
