Got a pair of snowflake clowns on Thursday, been in QT since. I have not actively seen them eat (I guess this doesn’t mean they aren’t eating, but still concerned), they show no interest in any frozen food, micro pellets, or flakes. Any ideas? Sorry for the blurry pic

edit: currently see no signs of disease or stress, they’re swimming actively like normal. All water parameters are normal.

I would not worry yet since it has only been a few days. Keep trying small amounts of various foods and eventually they will eat. Make sure the food is small enough for fish that young. Fish can go for an extended period without eating.
