What is your salinity at? Do you have plenty of surface aggitation for aeration of your tank. How long ago was he added to your tank? What size tank?

 

[mountaindew]

the salinity is 1.021 he was added 6 months ago plenty of movement and its a 110

Those look pretty good. I`m wondering if it might be a swim bladder problem. When was the last time you did a PWC.

 

[mountaindew]

that was probably 3 weeks ago.Today he is swimming pretty good and also eating.Has me puzzled

I kind of had the same thing happen with my maroon clown. He was swimming at the top, in the corner. I reduced the flow in my tank, and he seems to be doing much better. BUT, he still does it a few times a day. Seems to be normal behavior. IME Only.

Seems to be normal behavior.

Definitely is with clowns. They're weird like that. Guess that's why the call'm clowns.

I unplugged one of the powerheads thinking there might be electric being sent in the water.Today much better.My theory might have been right

 

[melosu58]

Do you have a ground probe in your tank?

 

[mountaindew]

no I do not.Today acting a little strange again and the powerhead is not plugged in.Thinking it might be something else

Do a PWC and research swim bladder problems.
