    alrighty so here's a quick video, sorry for the horrible quality.

    And before the video he was actually swimming in the tank like normal for a little bit, then he went back and continued swimming straight up and straight down like in the video, then right aftert the video he left the spot, then for the few seconds the female clown came to the spot and twitched in the sand again, and now their both swimming normally

    so now im almost positive he is fine and he is either being a freak or they are about to breed or have eggs

    Oh yeah, that's nothing to worry about! When you described it I thought he was swimming frantically up and down. He's just being a clown!

    After looking at the video I diagnose Tracy with beginneritis. Prescription take a chill pill and enjoy all the behaviors of her tank.;D Tracy your a good mama but you are going to worry yourself or your charges into an early grave.:-/

    If I had a dollar for every time someone made a "weird swimming clownfish" thread I'd be rich. :)
