Hi, I recently got a Royal Clown Knife from my LFS and he is pretty shy. It has been one week since I got him, and he has been hiding behind the log for the whole time. I saw him eat some feeder fish at the store but I have yet to see him eat in my tank. Other fish in my tank also eat the feeders, so I am afraid that the clown won't be able to get any. Is there some way to get him to eat?

Would wait as it’s just stressed and getting used to the tank with other preds. Should eat eventually.

Thanks for the reply. Should I try getting him on pellets?
That and ur other fish. Feeding live food is a gamble esp where you get it from.
