New clown fish question

[MN_ReeferKev]

Hi All,

Got my first clownfish a couple days ago. Both look really healthy and both eating well but won't leave a certain wall/corner of the tank. Tank is about 100g and no other inhabitants so lots of room to swim around.

Is this normal behavior for a new introduction(only 2 days in but just wondering)?

Thank you

In the beginning, in many cases , yes
Soon the female (usually larger one) comes out to explore morre often then male follows - IF she lets him. Also not unusual for them to go to sleep at lights out with head pointing upwards

Thank you for the response and yes, they are doing that at night so that makes me feel better. both look really healthy and are eating so just a matter of time then!

Appreciate the help
