My clowns are acting kinda strange today. My parameters are below.

Here is a short behavior of their behavior.

 

[BL1]

They don't look odd to me at all.

 

[rdahlke1105]

They just don't normally behave in this manner, but if you think its just the normal odd clown behavior I won't worry about it.

+1 BL1, anyways clowns are very strange fish, they do weird stuff all the time. Dont worry about it mate. :D

Damn, ninja'd by Reaha! :p

 

[rdahlke1105]

LOL Waddi. They just don't normally behave this way is all. Since the tank crash I'm a little paranoid by anything odd in my babies behavior.

 

[Zissou]

Kind of looks like they hosted the powerhead or something.

 

[rdahlke1105]

Actually they are all over the tank. They don't normally stay in only one place. So right now I don't think they are trying to get anything to host them.

They might just be trying to determine who's boss. How long have you had them? If they're the same size, it's likely they will have a power struggle until one wins. Not sure with clowns though. The "normal" behavior for them is "abnormal" LOL

I've had them for about 3 weeks now. When I got them the lighter colored one was slightly bigger, now the darker one is actually the slightly larger one. I have a feeling the darker one will end up becoming the female. I've been waiting to name them until they determine which one is going to become female.

Good luck :) The one who ends up submitting will do this vertical shaking thing in, so don't panic :)
