clown fish not eating

[JuicyJ]

my 2 clownfish no longer want to eat there food (mysis shrimp soak in garlic or spectrum pellets), ive tried buying new food, (rods food, flakes, krill, and brine shrimp) with no luck. when its feeding time they come up to the normal spot waiting for food to drop but they just spit it back out. when they use to eat they would devour anything in front of them now its 1-2 bites.

i check my reef parameters.
ammonia, nitrite, nitride, were all 0
cal 430
alk 8

oh yeah some background info on them, i have had them for 2 years now and they layed eggs 10-14 days ago.

Any other fish in the tank? Are you sure you are thawing the food enough? Anything new in the tank?

 

[JuicyJ]

just them 2, i am thawing the food for half an hour before serving. nothing new in the tank.

When did they stop eating and they may be eating things around your tank

they stop eating 4 days ago, i was able to get the male to eat 2 bites of some mysis shrimp yesterday. the clowns see the food, put it in their mouth then spit it back out.

Do you have anything they could be munching on in the tank

any sudden change in any of water parameters that could have shocked them?

He may have just decided to go on a diet!

 

[Zack]

Try a different food, if you haven't already

 

[infinite abyss]

may b they start eating their own eggs.

Sounds like internal parasites. Do you see any poop? If so, is it stringy or whitish?

I agree with otter watch them poop if it comes out stringy or stringy and white its the internal parasite if they are still eating its not too late!
