how to feed Amphiprion ocellaris?

Phyllis

I have two fish living with a magnifica, and they don't want to eat either dry food or frozen artemia. I feed the magnifica shrimp every two to three days, and it eats everything, but they don't want to. I've noticed that they take and spit out the tentacles of the magnifica, while my dog, on the contrary, throws away the grass and happily eats the dry food... How can I feed them?

In addition to the aforementioned, there are also daphnia, cyclops, bloodworm, tubifex, shell-free shrimp, and mussels - give them a try. Or it could just be poisoned fish; if its liver is damaged, the chances of recovery are extremely low. However, most of the fry are bred, so there shouldn't be any issues with feeding. When did you buy them? From whom?

two weeks ago at Marchenkov's

And all this time they haven't eaten? Are their bellies sunken or level with their bodies? I once had a little dog, and it died after a month; it tried to eat something but kept spitting it out. Most likely, it was poisoned.

How is being poisoned? Well, it seems like they lost weight.

When fish are caught, they use a substance to immobilize it and calmly collect it by hand. This same substance is eliminated from the body through the liver, effectively destroying it.

Do fish spit out food of ANY size? My premnas, if it can't swallow right away, spits the food into its hiding place in the rocks or into the anemone. (By the way, regarding the question of "feeding" anemonefish, I've noticed that it spits out large pieces immediately, while it eats small ones itself and pays no attention to the anemone.) I cut shrimp, squid, and smaller gobies with a knife - enough to fill it up. If the fish is poisoned - condolences. Off-topic: Usually, fish and rocks are of normal quality.

I got two ocellaris and a bicolor clownfish from Marchenkov a little over two months ago - from the first day, they all actively eat Cyclops, and the clowns almost take food from my hands...

I also have 2 weeks of ocelaris, and they also don't eat. Off-topic, fish is mainly sold from trucks here, and it doesn't have time to go through any quarantine, which is why the price is low; it's unlikely that any claims can be made. So, it's 50-50.

There should be no complaints! If the fish has wheels. Maybe it's worms?

When I got mine, they didn't take food at all, at the end of the fourth week they started pecking, six months passed, they grew, eat from my hands, you can't pull them away from the fins. I was fattening them with frozen plankton and Omega One.

I took them from the pet store at different times. One started eating frozen food right away, and after a month, I gradually switched him to dry food. The second one "struggled" for a week and didn't take frozen food, so I started adding garlic concentrate to the frozen food, and he began to peck at it and got hooked on the frozen food. Now, after two months, they eagerly eat both frozen food and dry food.
