How many days? The copper may damper his appetite. Try lacing the food in garlic juice.

Jaiden:
I'm currently having this same problem with my clown. Last night, I dropped in some Formula Two (the new formula that contains 2% garlic) and I saw him at least TRY to eat, so I'm hoping mine is snapping out of it.
When QShark says "garlic juice", is this something you can buy in a store, or do you have to make it yourself? I would think straight garlic would be way too strong.

I use Kent Garlic Extreme on every once in a while. My fish go nuts when I soak their food in it!

HE ATE! I gave him some live brine and he's snapping them up. I'm not sure whether he or I are happier.

Hey there everybody....thanks for the tip about "Garlic Extreme". I wasn't sure how to add garlic flavor to food, but figured that chopping up the same stuff I cook with wasn't the way to go.
By the way, I got my clown to start eating the other day too. Quarryshark suggested the same thing to me, so I bought a new package of the new Formula Two with garlic, and he came around. There must really be something to it.
Glad for you, Jaiden, and for myself too.
