Percula Clownfish Question

I just got 2 Percula Clownfish yesterday and one of them only staying in one place at the top of my tank by my powerhead it never moves from that stop unless i scare it and then it swines with the other one for a bit and goes back to the spot. Is it just getting use to my tank. I did get the two together and there is no bulling around.

 

Sounds like a wait and watch. Make sure parameters are in line.

If he stops eating, begins to breath heavy at the surface or develops white spots then be more aggressive.

I have experienced similar situations a few times

I have had 2 clown fish in at same time, both exploring the tank
I have had 2 clown fish and one hovers about in 1 area and the other explores
and I have had 2 clownfish that both hosted a heater thermostat from day 1 until they got more comfortable and went investigating further

Sounds normal to me

Your info says you have a damsel in there too. They can be bullies and not letting him outof his corner.

 

No I took them and trade them a long with the tomato My ph 8.2 Ammonia 0ppm Nitrite 0ppm Nitrate is about 20ppm and the Salinity about 35

 

and i have watched them the damsel does nothing to them. when i first put the clowns in the damsel was swimming with them.

 

As Steve posted, sometimes new clowns just do this.

I to have had some be very social and active and some stick to corners for awhile until they felt more comfortable.

Is he eating?

 

He did a little

 

Well that is a very good sign.

 

what if he was not eating
