Clownfish stays in back corner?

[Lopsideful]

Hi, i have 2 clownfish in my nanao reef tank and one of them just stays in his little corner in the back? Is this normal, he also kind of breathes fast? Thank you! :sfish:

He could just be hosting the corner.

He could just be hosting the corner.

Agreed,clowns are strange and will host anything...Mine host a rock

 

[Lopsideful]

haha yea does anybody know about the breathing though?

 

[OhNoNemo]

Does it look like he's struggling to breath or just fast....he may just be nervous or excited....
How long have you had these clowns??

 

[Lopsideful]

No he just is breathing heavier than the other one. I have had them for about a month and a half

 

[Lopsideful]

He also sometimes kinda comes horizontal with the surface of the water like on his side? Maybe he is just a weirdo jk jk!

 

[OhNoNemo]

Does he still eat ,and at least come out and swim every now and then.....?
Sounds pretty normal to me...clowns are not super active swimmers like tangs ,or wrasses...most seem content in a little spot in the tank

 

[Lopsideful]

Yea he eats and comes out, Im sure your right they do seem to just be content with little spots :)
