Hello, I got our first 4 fish for our tank. 2 firefish and 2 clowns. The firefish look good, however both the clowns are swimming sideways on the bottom of the quarantine tank and to the side glass. Seems as if they try to get as close as possible. I don’t see any sign of infection or ich. Is this a normal behave? Is it looking at its reflection? Or is it something I should take note of and do about?

Only medication is 1.0 of copper, as I am going to increase it slowly, and we got them Saturday.

I had a pair of clown that would float on the top on their sides I thought they were dying but turns out they sleep like that sometimes.
