    Default Clownfish??

    I just acquired 2 clownfish a male and a female. I've noticed the female swimming as fast as she can but isn't going anywhere or she swims in a vertical position head towards the top of the tank and not really going anywhere. Is this something I should be concerned about or is it normal?????

    Some clownfish seem to really like swimming in place at odd angles near the corners/backs of tanks. Having something in there they can hang out with (a fake or real bta, for example) could be a way to get them out of the corner. That said, I wouldn't throw in an anemone on a whim.

    My skunk clowns would sleep near the surface on their sides in the corner. It was very strange.

    I have to say these are possibly the most intriguing fish I've encountered this far. As far as the anemone goes...I'm definitely taking my time with it...I want to make sure I get the right one so to speak.
