Just got my pair of clownfish in the mail... They like to chase eachother around (they're about the same size)
They swim around the tank a ton! they're both probably 1.25 inches maybe less at the moment they're in a 10 gallon planning to add zoas, acans, frogspawn deffintly going to upgrade to a 30 gallon cube in the future (5-6) months down the line when they get big. is this normal behavior for clownfish? Should i be scared of them fighting I got them together same size. When should I feed them? A day a few days? A week?? I just got them in the mail around 30 minutes ago my water parameters are
0 ammonia
0nitrate
0nitrite
Ph 7.9/8.0
Salinity 1.24/1.25
Water temp 76-84
Is my flow to strong for them? I have a hydor krollia nano 240 gph
Filter fluval c2 power filter with active carbon

Looking good! Don't worry about the chasing. They'll calm down.
You could start feeding them today, or at least by tomorrow morning. Don't make them wait a week.
I'm a little concerned about your tank's temperature. Needs to be a little more stable.
The tank looks just newly set up. How long has it been?
 
ITs been up for about a month and 1-2 weeks, My temp stays in the low 80s and high 70s most of the time
 
Sorry for the bad photo quality, I don't have a very good quality camera
 
Great looking clowns. :-)

They need to eat as posted above and you need to continue to test for ammonia and nitrates for the next couple weeks at least since the tank is so young. Did you seed the tank or use any bacteria in bottle products? If not you might see a decline in water quality in such a young tank.
 
I've used seachem prime seachem stability and bio spira I dosed at the start of the tank and last week with bio spira my tank has been up for a a bit over a month (maybe a week or so)
