    Clown not eating

    I just got my first clown in yesterday. I put him in and he isn't eating. He'll see the food and dart for it but stop and turn around half way. Nitrate-40 I can't seem to get it to drop more than this with 10% water changes weekly, do I need to do more water changes? Nitrite-0 SG-1.26 PH-8.2
