Both of my clwnfish started swimming like this qnd have been for the past couple of hours after I tried killing aptaisia in my tank with lemon juice and changed filter floss ( tank got really cloudy and took about an hour and half to clear up. Is this concerning ?
 
Just to add, one of them if not both do like to swim against the glass and chase their reflection. They move away from the glass if something covers that side of the tank and go to another side. And I got worried and fed them a bit because they seemed " too active " for a few hours so I gave them a few pellets and both ate a few each. ( they ate all I put in )

You should cover the outside glass to block the reflection.
Was is the pH of the tank after the lemon juice? I always use calcium hydroxide to do that so I don’t see a pH drop. I’m not positive, but I also think lemon juice can create a bacterial bloom like vinegar or alcohol.

Don't have a pH test kit, was keeping on a budget and relying on my lfs for that. ( obvious downside to that ) but unfortunately yeah. However they do have seemed to relaxed since then and are at their places where they usually spend the night/ sleep
