Weird fish behavior

[lilchris_357]

I have 4 fish in my 180 tank. I have 2 clowns (one small and one medium size) a Vlamingi (juvi) and a large pyramid butterfly. I have noticed they only stay in one corner of the tank. They do not venture too far away from the one corner. Every now and then the tang will swim across the tank but non of them will swim through the rock work under the overhangs. They have been in the tank for about 2 months.

Maybe u wanna check at night what beast lurks under your rockworks......

None. I started with all dry rock that I acid washed and cured a few months prior to setup. Do there shouldn't be any hitchhikers in the tank. But I will check.

I think you just need more fish [emoji4]

When fish don't see other fish active and about they think there must be a predator lurking around the corner. A few more "active" tankmates should get them using more of the tank.

QT first though
