Clown question

OK, so my two clowns... the past two mornings act very strange to me but it could be something I'm just new to also and something that's normal hopefully. I've noticed that one will go to the top of the tank for a good 5-10 minutes or so while the other one stays down on the bottom behind a rock and when the one on the bottom comes out the one on top will finally go back down and start swimming together. Is this something I need to be worried about?

Re: Clown question

it sounds normal to me. they wont always stay togehter and if one hosts with something it will more than likely not tolerate the other one at all unless they are a mated pair

Re: Clown question

At this stage in the game dont do anything. It takes a lot of knowhow and tanks to raise the fry. The eggs might hatch and might not if they do they will just become free food for the time being.
