does your clown eat brine shrimp?

Are you feeding live brine shrimp or frozen?
Some of the frozen brine shrimp is of low quality, so your clown may not be eating it because of that.
More to the point though. Brine shrimp while excellent to get a fish to start to eat is actually a poor food. I highly recommend that you switch to other frozen foods such as mysis shrimp.

Yea, Brine shrimp has very little nutritional value to it unless you use it as a vector for some of the common vitamin and fat supplements like selcon and zoe, you need to soak it in something to make it worth while.
With that being said mine used to eat anything that was put infront of it, so it should be eating it.

That's funny because my maroon clown loves brine shrimp but he won't even touch mysis shrimp... maybe he's just not used to mysis shrimp cause i don't feed them that often.... I usually do flakes every 2-3 days and brine shrimp one a week... treat time!
I would also recommend stocking up on other frozen foods and using them also. Frozen clams, squid, or blood worms all make good foods. Some of the "name brand" frozen foods are ok too.

Mine will only eat them when he's really hungry or else he won't touch them, just spit them out. Most of the time he rather have flake food. Now the cleaner shrimp is opposite, so I try to do a 3x a week feeding of them and the rest flake.
