Hey guys

I got my 2 clowns 3 weeks ago and i put them in 16 days of copper which they handled very well

Today i put them in a 45 minute formalin bath and transfered to a new qt tank (tub) to treat with prazipro
But havnt yet put any prazi in

My male clown is falling to hes side then getting back up and swimming very calmly
Then he will stop swimming and fall to hes side the get up again, its very strange in comparison to how he was in the copper

Params are

Ammonia - 0
Nirtite - 0
Nitrate - 10 to 20 ppm
Ph - 8.0
Salinity - 1.025
Temp - 78

Just want to know what i can do or if i need to worry

I took 2 picture in a matter of 10 seconds apart so u can see how hes laying down then back up

I would just observe and hold off on the meds until it is acting right. Feed heavy, make sure it is comfortable
 
Just put some mysis for them but both didnt eat which i know is normal because of the new environment

He was swimming around the tank for aboit 5 minutes then went back to that spot and started doing that again

And im not going to dose prazi untill he is back to normal ( i just hope i dont wake up tomorrow to him dead)
