I have had my clown for 4weeks now... unfortunately the clown entered teh tank before my cycling was done, but he made it through the cycle and the water conditions are good, hes been out of that water for about a week and half, however he has not eaten in at least 2weeks, i have tried flakes, fresh shrimp, scallups, and squid. will not eat, just wondering if there is anything i can do, i did add some garlic to the food, and have tried fresh garlic on top before i add to the tank, still not biting, it will look at the food fly by then go back and hide behind the rock i ahve in my tank... will he not eat for awhile, it looks like he has HLLE as well, and i dont know how to solve that without giving him food. Anyone have suggestions?

I would get live brine and enrich it in some vitamins.
Feed him half a teaspoon and see if he bits at it.

No, the hermits will eat the brine also, though. Just give them a small spoonful.
Soak it in Zoe, or VitaChem, or Selcon first though.

i removed teh carbon filtration because it was very dirty and i read somewhere that hlle could be due to that .... i hope that helps him out a bit
