Hello everyone!
I want to say thank you all that contributed to my last thread about my anemone. It is doing really well, expanding nicely and looks beautiful under the "moonlight" blue lights. I think the lights are a little weak that are with the Fluval, so I am getting the AI Prime 16 Reef and it should be here later this week. Regardless, I am here for my clownfish.
So I have bought two small, baby clownfish from a LFS. At first they seemed somewhat, exploring the upper half of my Fluval Evo 13.5, but recently have chosen to stay near the overflow entry and are swimming a bit erradically. For example, there are times they are swimming straight down with there tails up, and for prolonged periods of time (with the lights on) swim upside down or sideways (at times, although not often). I thought it was swim bladder, so I have been rotating there food between green peas mushed up, frozen brine shrimp and Fluval bug flake things.
Tank parameters are fine (salinity is 1.026 ppm, temp is 78.5F, nitrate is ~0-2ppm, nitrite/amonia is 0 ppm), and no other issue are noted within the tank outside of a bit of Cyano that I was trying to fix organically (and have failed at doing so far, so I may use chemiclean).
Are my clownfish being goofy, or is there an issue I need to look at treating?
