Alyson White Posted April 25, 2022 Share Posted April 25, 2022 I got a clownfish on Saturday and he has mostly just hung around one area of the tank. Often I will find him just sitting in his anemone like this. Is this bad? Is he just getting used to the new tank? Or is there another issue? Also, when I feed him, he’ll swim around and it eat but not swim straight to the top and get it from the surface. Quote Link to comment
NoOneLikesADryTang Posted April 25, 2022 Share Posted April 25, 2022 Sounds like normal clown behavior. My pair rarely leave their anemone, and when the do for food, they wait for it fall to their level before darting out to get it, and then zipping back to the anemone. 1 Quote Link to comment
Jakesaw Posted April 25, 2022 Share Posted April 25, 2022 Very normal clown behavior. They are territorial and tend to hang out in their area. If left alone in a tank too long, they will consider the entire tank their territory. Don't ask me how I know this. Quote Link to comment
Tamberav Posted April 25, 2022 Share Posted April 25, 2022 If the fish is eating then I would not be worried. They don’t really swim straight and probably why they call them clownfish. Quote Link to comment
