Maybe this should go in the "Sick" forum, but I don't really think my fish is sick... I am just curious if his activity is normal.
I just bought a clownfish (to replace a chromis, for those who follow my biological rollercoaster of a tank... not adding to the load at the moment), and it's not moving around in the tank. It just stays in the same corner all the time and doesn't really move around. He isn't completely stationary, but in the last 12 hours or so he hasn't bothered to explore the tank. He isn't breathing fast or showing signs of disease or stress. He reacts to stimuli like normal, it seems.
Is this just normal activity for a clownfish? I've never noticed them being terribly mobile while in stores (even when they don't have an anemone). I'm concerned by the fact that he isn't moving around much, but he really looks fine.
