New clown fish

[Joel j]

Hello all.
So my first marine aquarium got it's further inhabitants today. 2 small clowns from o.r.a. they are so small and cute.
The tank is a 75g, with 60lb of rock and 40 lb of sand. It is being filtered by an fx 6. No power heads yet.
The fx6 does about 450g/hr. That should not be to much water movement for the two Lil guys should it? How can I make sure that they are eating? I tried to spot feed them ,cause they were hiding in the back corner. I deff saw one eat but not sure about the other. After that they came out from hiding to the front of the tank. Is there a way to help get pellets to them? Its such a big tank for 2 fish one inch or less.

Sometimes they won’t eat for a couple days. Normally like to see them eat at my supplier before bringing them home. Sometimes I still do. If after two days I don’t see interest in my normal feeding I will add a little garlic to the mix. Like a tiny bit or use tiny garlic pellets to get them eating. After adjusting to their new home they should be fat and happy before you know it.

I have seen them eat. It makes me happy. I think my food was too big for them. I stole some small pellet food from my daughter and I saw them both gobble a couple pieces each. I need a skilled scavenger now to clean up all the ones they don't eat.

Hermits and snails are great. The little hermits. The bigger hermits tend to be more of a pest in my tank.
Light foot crabs are super cool as well. He eats anything and everything. Leaves my fish alone unlike a Halloween hermit that needs lives in my sump
