It should be noted that the suitable water temperature for clownfish to survive is 26-27°C, the specific gravity of seawater is 1.022-1.023, the pH value of seawater is between 8.0-8.5, and the water hardness is 7-9 degrees dh.
Try to adjust the water quality and water temperature within this range.
Once again, it may take 2-3 days for the clownfish to adapt to the new environment. It does not need to be fed these days.
After the adaptation period, let the clownfish open its mouth and feed it with brine shrimp first, and then slowly switch to flake feed. , when it is fully stabilized, pellets, minced shrimp, or other omnivorous bait can be used.
