Normal clownfish behaviour or not?

[deepsynth]

Hey guys.
Hope you are all well

I have noticed that my female clown is swimming strangely. As I am new to the hobby I don’t know if normal or not.

it took me a while to get used to the way they sleep.

so she seems to swim up loose some Buoyancy then swim up etc.

Hoping this is normal.

parameters are fine

Hopefully find attached.

ps. She wasn’t eating to great to be honest.

No video posted. Is the fish eating? Any recent additions? Breathing heavy?

Very pretty clown and fish looks normal. Two things I see happening per the swimming behavior is:
The flow seems aggressive for the tank and clown while swimming appears to be resisting the current and also very typical of a clown- seems on the left of tank playing with its reflection off the glass

Looks like normal clown behavior to me.

Thank you so much for the compliment

so basically I’m running a wave maker on a 6min on 6min off timer.

I’m still stressing about oxygenation of the water. I’ll post a video of the agitation when the wave makers are on.

Always want some flow. If overpowered try using 2 smaller ones on either side of the tank. 6 min on and off could bother coral in the future.

Flow looks okay.
Clown looks okay.
And yes, two are better than one.
