Clowns acting weird

[Marke86]

Everything is going well and thriving, but I noticed today that my clowns are starting to act much more agressive and they have little ceasers like they twitch for a second after there done battling. One is much bigger than the other so I do not know if they are diseased or maybe there trying to spawn or somthing.

thanx

even the twitching? Im scared it may be there diet or lack of o2 I feed them 5 pelets each every 2 days and I have my tank filled to the top were some areas touch the glass top.

If it was an oxygen problem, they'd be at the surface or near your powerheads gasping. You might want to switch to frozen food because pellets and flakes contain ash, which can lead to algae problems.

if they are eating and not showing open sores, I would not worry too much. Clowns have the namesake for being just plain weird and erratic

The twitching happens to my clowns all the time. I think it is the smaller clown being submissive to the big one.

Cthegame SCORES.
The twitching is the smaller male showing his mate that he submissive.Its natural for clowns to do that.
