Please watch this video and help me determine whats wrong with them and how i can cure or fix it idk whats wrong tried looking online got nowhere. I already looked all over their bodies saw no dots like fogginess or anything they look normal besides how they’re swimming, also they never use to do this. Nevermind my videos wont work but the title stands, both of my clownfish are acting like crackheads. They like dive bomb towards the sand bed flicking their bodies and sometimes theyre like twitchings idk how to explain it really wish i could post a video.
 
Try taking a video and then post it as a a private video on YouTube then send the link. but this sounds like a problem with your water.

Lol looks normal to me. Are these your first clowns? Mine are always swimming in the sand.

Are they crashing into the sand or just jerkying around acting weird. The latter would be courtship, aka "Falling in love is like being on crack,"

Agree. How long have they been abusing crack? (I don't know what they are up too.)
 
I just got two new Wyoming white clowns and the larger of the two does that as well but only when I turn the lights on. I don’t know what it is. But I am worried alittle.
 
possible you have too much flow? that can cause clowns to swim aggressively like that. I wouldn't worry about them being near the sand, mine do that from time to time.
 
Look normal to me. To be sure take another video using white lighting and try to get closer view. Blue is awful for any kind of pics or videos.

Looking at the video, I think they got some bad meth that's making them spaz out. Try adding charcoal to the filtration to remove the drugs?

Seems like the drug epidemic in Amerca has impacted the clownfish breeding community really hard. I hope they get treatment for their problems.
