True Percula Clown

Can someone tell me what perculas eat?

flakes..frozen brine shrimps...

not really picky eaters. =)

Yeah, pretty much anything that falls into a tank as food. Variety is the key, so change up as often as possible.

Do clowns need a lot of rocks to hide, ect.

 

[colesea]

They should have as much decoration as you could possibly give them. Helps reduce aggression.

can someone tell me why my clown is like peeling on its back? It doesn't eat either. The tank has some live rock and 1 bi color angelfish

How long have you had the clown? Has he eaten since you set up tank? They aren't very picky eaters, but switch diet as much as possible. Have you tried live brine shrimp? Usually fish are attracted to moving food. If he isn't interested in that, I think he may be sick. Also try to setup your live rocks with cave area so fish can retreat to safe area. Make sure to test your water JF228, take water samples to Exotic if you don't have test kit. Also record how well tank is running. You may find something is not right. *twirlysmiley*

I've had it for a week, and it hasn't eaten anything. I don't know if it gets something at night, but when i feed it it doen't eat, and yes I've tried live shrimp. I'll try to build the caves.

Sometimes fish get spooked if you stand in front of their tank and gawk at them while they eat. Turn the tank lights off and take a few steps back after you put food in the tank, then watch to see if they eat from across the room.

If the membrane of your fish is peeling, it is probably sick with a bacterial infection. Try some saltwater Maracide, or Triple-sulfa.
