Clownfish

[marki24]

I got these clownfish from an LFS. The problem now is that they are not eating for a week now. I seen one of them take some froozen shrimp and then spit it right out. They are also getting skinnier and have some see-thru poop hanging from their anus. Anyone has any advice what to do or should i just lay them to rest? They also basically swim in one spot wobbling back and forth in that spot.

I got it in brooklyn on bt 47th and 48th street and 8th avenue from these chinese people. Thats my mistake i never bothered to ask them to feed the fish. But how the hell are they surviving w/o food for a week now?

Thats my mistake i never bothered to ask them to feed the fish.

Rule #1 in purchasing a fish from an LFS...."Watch it eat!" :eat: You wouldn't be comfortable or happy, but I'd venture to say you could last a week without eating too.
