New to clowns!

[marineman2323]

I just got my first pair of clowns.20 gal and the tank is more tall then wide. I have a power head doing 190gph and it looks as if they are struggling to swim or flapping a lot towards the top. If I use a 118 gph it looks too low... any suggestions?

Clowns will swim and act weird at times but it's nothing to be alarmed by. They will also, at times, swim close to the top of the water or close to equipment items in the tank. I don't think it's a flow issue.

give em time, they will find their own spot that they like. The more you move stuff around trying to make them happy, the more they will keep trying to find their happy spot

Welcome!
I know this is your first time, so just want to get you on the right foot.
What is your specific gravity reading?
Do you have a fully cycled tank?
Where did you get the fish?

Or are you new to only clowns not saltwater?
