Clownfish not eating/ weird behavior.

[StPatrick89]

My clownfish is not eating. I have 2 I got March 13 almost a month ago. He was eating out the bag. Over the last week and a half he’s been laying against the glass, but then would bounce up like nothings going on. This week, when we feed the tank the other 3 fish come and gladly grab food, but he sits staring at the glass not interested in the food at all. Especially pellets. He seems lethargic at times. Any ideas what’s going on? Idk if he’s warm out from trying to get with the female fish for the past couple weeks or if she’s bullied him into not eating...

Either way the best bet would be to move the fish to a hospital tank. Just incase of illness or aggression. Pictures and video in white light will help also.

You would notice aggression. Other things to check for are white spots and fast breathing. I've had my clowns skip a meal here or there. Especially when it's pellets. Try some frozen like Rods fish eggs or fish only. Or best would be live brine shrimp.

I was thinking the same thing. I have a schedule, when there’s the frozen foods he eats, but even when i try to fee twice a day with pellets or flakes he’s uninterested

I think they're trying to tell you something
