Clownfish are weird but more often than not it is a sign of disease such as velvet. 1 1 Quote Link to comment

FollyFish Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 I've had some of my fish play in the powerhead flow. Not my clownfish but most of my wrasse and some of my blennys like a good ride. Have fun and enjoy the show. 2 Quote Link to comment
Sealybomb Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 I had one of mine doing that the other day. Was quite worrying but he seems to have calmed down now 👍 2 Quote Link to comment
MainelyReefer Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 I added a gyre and for a majority of the day my clowns and tang are treating it like a treadmill or one of those endless pools. Less catching the waves and more vigorously swimming into the current here. 2 Quote Link to comment

They look pretty, though. 😉 2 Quote Link to comment

I figured he will grow for a year and then no one will have a larger size available for sale only babies and he will sell for more than the 79$ he cost. Great fish so far 1 Quote Link to comment
