    Default MY Clownfish are SHAKING???

    Hello All,

    This evening, I noticed my clownfish pair in the back part of the tank doing a shaking, twitching manuever with each other...is this how they mate?

    My gsm pair do this all the time. The male will turn sideways and they form like a T and shake like crazy for a few seconds. Kinda funny to watch.
