Perc clowns not eating

[iambailey]

Well the Two aquacultured perc clowns I got from this site *ahem* are doing ok after 5 days, swimming very active ect... but they wont eat any food I put in, they taste it but spit it out.. Ive tried 3 diff kinds of flake... frozen mysis, frozen algea with clams, frozen angel formula 1.. ive added garlic extreme as well.. any suggestions?

test your water and let us know what the tests say. they could be stressed out.

Nope, water parameters are A. OK.. nitrate at about 10-15 but nothing else... also... this site deleted my name (Bailey52) because I critisized them and my order from them... just want that to be known

also some fresh shrimp or fish my help
good luck

I'am sure this will be the last time we see him under this name, they ll delete him again... However when i first got my two percs they did the same thign with mysis.. and it was because it was to big... try smaller food or something and see if that works.

nice not deleted yet! I guess 600+ posts and lots of $$ buying from this site doesnt stop them from deleting someone... (kinda reminds me of the white house) anyway.. what smaller foods do you recomend.. I mean some of the mysis seems to be about as small as any food is going to get..thet get it in their mouths.. just spit it out

 

[autojunkie]

if its frozen mysis, put it in a cup to thaw it and stir it around to break it up a little bit..then dump it in the tank. Its worth a try

 

[iambailey]

Thats how I already do it..
