I don't think that flow is an issue. He just seems unable to float or glide. It seems like he has to stroke his fins and whole body to keep from sinking to the sand. maybe he's just getting used to the tank? He's impressed with his image in the glass I think

It still amazes me that the clown fish wiggle is almost universally considered cute. What's odd about it is that the wiggle is the exact same motion a snake makes.

Regardless though, they look adorable paired up and snuggled into their hosted spot.

Clownfish are never still... they're always doing that wiggle even when they're standing still. I'm assuming your ammonia dropped to zero... (he asks while wincing...)

Yes sir! I got all zeroes and I have to confess I jumped out of my seat and rushed out the door! I'll take the parameters again today.
