Added two clowns today.

[Everett Adams]

Is it normal that they are both at the top of the tank hiding in the corner?

When should I turn the lights back on?

 

[Nu-Nu the eel]

Lol ya thats what my clown does, hes new just like yours are. I turned the lights on the next day, first i turned on the blues, then the bright whites about an hour later and he was okay. I dont know if this is the right way to do it, but thats how i did

 

[Everett Adams]

now one of the clowns is swimming sideways at the top of the water. Is this normal?

 

[corinne118s]

No.. Check your warer

 

[AquaRick]

Has your tank cycled? How long did you acclimate? Water Parameters?

 

[Everett Adams]

tank cycled test results are good

 

[corinne118s]

Is there enough flow? What ph/filtration do you have? Whatelse intank

 

[Everett Adams]

nothing else in the tank 120 gallon tank with lots of flow

 

[CleverBs]

he may be fine mine swam vertically with his head down along side of my heater for like 4 days when i first put my pair in the tank.

 

[corinne118s]

Yea everything sounds good! Good luck! Only other thing I could think of is that your water might be too cold/hot

 

[Everett Adams]

Both clowns seem to be swimming
Much better today so so happy!!!!! Was really worried

My clown (adopted from a tank at work) took a few days to get his normal behavior...freaked me out too.

 

[Everett Adams]

Very happy
