[silver_tang]

Hi guys..can anyone tell mi how to choose a good and healthy marine fish. I bought a clark clown and coral beauty but they juz dun eat...one week after die leh...any advices?

basically, they should have no torn fins and must be fat and feeding well.

another factor is that you must try to minimise the stress you cause it

fishes should be alert and not hiding in one corner.

check whether there are spots/ white specks on the fish.

If the fish is feeding...that's a good start.

If you can net out the fish w/o resistance....you shld be worried

Also do acclimatize the LS after you brought it back home. Its also to prevent and an outbreak of any possible diseases which may hit your LS in the main tank if not properly done.
