I have had my maroon clown for a bout a year and a bit and have noticed that it is swimming funny she kind of looks like she uses one fun more than the other my only other clown is an ocellaris. Ps how do I upload a video
 
Without a video I want to say that clowns are the weirdest fish in the world and do some of the oddest things you've ever seen....

Yeah I have seen them do some weird things but this looks sickly to me thanks for the response

Swim blatter, feed peas;)
 
I tend to agree ... other than that little excited "pull" with her pecs, she seems to be moving fairly normally.

Keep an eye on her though - if for no other reason than the fact that fishwatching is half the fun!

You skin the pea correct and how do u go about feeding
 
Yes, skin the pea - and maybe chop it into bits small enough for a clownfish to eat. (I've only personally used it for goldfish, who _love_ peas) I would consider soaking the pea in frozen (thawed) fishfood, and perhaps a drop or two of garlic extract, to give it a flavor the clownfish is willing to take. Peas aren't something that a marine fish is likely to recognize as food on their own!

Here is another video I moved her to a quarantine and put some furan -2 in due to fact of body slime she was really easy to catch which is worrying where to next #reefsquad
 
dose the furan2 every other day after a water change. Keep doing that for a minimum of 10 days. It looks like there is a slight infection on the fins there. The furan should help clear that up.
