my DT is 2 weeks away from the end of the fallow period. my QT has gone through 30 days of copper power 1.75 ppm and 2 weeks of Prazipro and Metroplex.

I noticed today that my clowns are twitching. Are they having siezures? I don't see any eggs so I don't think they are spawning, but I am new to this whole thing.

I don't know of any other parasites that could live through copper and Prazi/Metro.

Thought?
 
Clowns are very parasite resistant.

If treatments were done properly, it could just be a clownfish being a clownfish.

thanks I guess that makes me feel a little better. Just looks weird watching them. So I should not worry about putting them back into DT?

I know it can be a challenge, but a video would be helpful. I notice that my male clown (the smaller one) does violent shaking movement in what looks like showing submission to the larger female, sometimes they both do it. Sounds like what you are talking about could be that, happens often and they are fine. Anyone else notice such behavior with their clowns?
 
I have tried multiple times now to upload a 7 sec video. It appears to be .mov which I think the site accepts, but I keep getting an error? #revhtree

It's easier to just upload it to youtube and post a link. There are data size restrictions that prevent uploading entire video files.
 
Mine do that all the time so hope there isn’t something wrong with them that I find out now!
 
To be honest, I think it's their way of communicating with each other. Mine do it all the time. Usually it's the male (smaller) talking to the female. But it's been mentioned more than once, that's usual clownfish behavior.

There is a reason a clownfish is called a clownfish you know!
