Hey,
I thought about adding this to my previous topic, but it seemed a little different. Anyway, I gave the damsel to a co-worker and got 1 clown. I wasn't able to catch the blenny without taking out all my rockwork and decided aginst it for the time being.

Anyway, I put the clown in the tank wed. and it immediately started swimming right in front of the powerhead. It hasn't taken any food and has swam in the same spot almost for 36 hours. What gives? Is this normal? How can a fish possibly do this for so long without eating?

I did a waterchange 2 days before the purchase to ensure pristine conditions.

Maybe this is normal, but I know some of you will know something of this behavior.

I don't know what it was, but it did this for like a week. Now it explores and seems happy.

Your right..Must have liked the current a lot!!

I think that clowns like the strong current. Mine hangs out at the outlets of my manifold once in a while... then it gets blown all the way to the other side of my 20L.
