My clownfish previously was having stringy poop for 1 day, but then stopped. It previously had hexamita, but it came over that. It is showing no signs of hexamita right now, or any illness of stress, but the last 2 times I fed them, he didn't eat. I am feeding Mysis shrimp pellets, and the only fish in the tank are 2 clowns. I feed them about 10 pellets a day, because usually that is all they eat, and I have tested if they eat more by adding a little more than normal, and they wouldn't eat it, but now, I am guessing that the female clown isn't eating. I have seen no competition between the two. I have had this clown for 2 months, and the other for 1. When I first got them, the pellets were too big, so I had to crush them up, and all the leftovers would go into filtration, and they would wait for it to break down and then eat it when the water came back into the tank. Are they doing this now? Is it something else? Should I change up there food?
