My clown LOVES to play in the rodi water I pour in for topoffs. Is there any problem with this? I usually only put in 1-2 gal at a time, since it's only a 54g tank.
 
no mine does this everytime I put water in as well. They are curious little guys mine have to examine everything that goes into my tank
 
I love that, everytime anything new goes in my clowns and my peppermint shrimp are right there. The clowns seem to love the fresh water.
 
Same here, when I do top offs they come up so quick they look like they're gonna jump out of the tank. :mrgreen:
 
Plus, fish actually prefer slightly less salty water than what we have in the tanks. Natural sea water is 1.025-1.027 but higher bony fishes like clowns maintain their internal SG closer to 1.010-1.012 (about 1/3 that of sea water, or ~100x that of freshwater).

Eh. It probably just tickles.
 
they are really cute i just purchase yet another french angel, my little clown is trying to pick a fight with it, he is trying to whip my french angel with his little tail, it look really cute and not they are getting along pretty well, since i could hand feed both of them. :mrgreen:
