got my water tested.good to go..bought a maroon clown

[sin]

they tested my water for me and said everyhtign was fine.so i bought a maroon clown he was 18 bucks.hes awesome.him and my devil damsel are actually getting along wich is somehting i was worried about but i figured since they are both semi-aggresive it would be fine.neither of them is really doing anyhting to the other though.the clown is eating and everyhting and appears to be healthy.only thing is he doesent swim down into the tank..he stays up at the top...is this normal?will he swim down once he starts to get used to his new home?

Clowns can take a while to get used to new tanks. They often stay at the top. Many clowns I have seen even sleep on the surface. I would bet he is doing well.

hehe hes done some investigative swimming towards the bottom.now he kind of hangs out about halfway.y'know before ig ot this guy iu always thought clowns were kind of goofy lookin but now that ive been wathching him im loving him.just the way he sims haha it actually looks liek hes swimming.my damsel just propells itself it actually looks liek hes swimming.i love him.ive seen my damsel take a few nips at him but im assuming htey are investigative since they are swimming near eachother alot and havent bit eachother since those few nips.and WOW i got to touch my clown..ive never touched a fish before...hes really calm hes so cool..im starting to think im gonna take the damsel back to the store and get some more clowns once this one gets used to the new tank
