Picasso Clown Arrived

[scottghs]

I got my shipment of Picasso Clowns today (YaY SWF.com!) and thought I should share a couple of pictures with you

Those are some beauts there are some blue stripped clownfish pair on e well we know the rest of that site but some rare pairs are some sexy additions to tanks

hehe, right now these two are the only pair of fish in the tank. I have a cleanup crew in there though, but nothing with any real color. I set the tank up ages ago, but I was forever getting caught up with school/work and never got it all rolling.
I purchased the T5 lighting, so later on I want to look into getting an BTA for these two.

How long in general does it take for Clowns to start eating after they have been shipped? I offer food twice a day to them, once before I go to school and once when I get home.
I read in the 'Clownfishes' book that I should be worried if the fish do not have a crazy appetite. They seem to be doing OK, and they have not even started to pester each other yet. I have my tank on a 12hour light schedule, T5's with Lunar lights for the night.
Should I be worried, or are they just getting used to my setup.
Shukran!

I got them both from SWF.com for $99 (each)

Anyone have any ideas?

try soaking food in garlic juice.

Usually within a day or two they should start eating . They been moved into a dark box and now to a new tank , they just need to relax and adjust to the new surroundings .

you may want to order some ORAGlo food. The fish are probably used to eating that because that's what they are fed at ORA.
congrats! your picassos have awesome markings!! My LFS ordered me a pair today and I'm picking them up on Wednesday!

you might want to try and turn off your lights for a few days or maybe just use the atinics. I have heard that after shipping they are stressed and sometimes the bright lights can make it worse. I always kill the lights for about 2-3 days after a new fish addition.

They started eating. I just needed to be patient
Thanks again
