New Pair of Tangerine Clowns to Cycle Aquarium

[Chris H Reef]

Hey All,

I just added a pair of tangerine clowns to my 75 gallon tank with a bottle of turbo start.

They are hanging out on opposite ends of the tank in the corner by the return jet and the overflow box.

I tried to feed them this morning but they seemed timid and did not eat. I just wanted to make sure is this normal behavior for a while until they get use to their new environment?

Why did you use live fish to cycle your tank? That is ridiculously crewl to them and right now the ammonia is frying their gills.
