I'm trying really hard to act normal
I've had two clownfish for a week now, and I am concerned that the smaller one is not eating. It will pick a little at the Omega flakes I give them. I believe the live brine, bloodworms, and mysis might be too big for it. I've also tried frozen krill, daphia, BBS, and some small sinking pellets for SW fish. I've been trying to give him pretty small pieces, but he won't take it. He'll usually swim up and show interest, but it seems like when he figures out what it is, he doesn't want it. He has picked here and there, but it's not enough. It seems he's ingested very little. I've watched in cognito (I covered myself with macroalgae j/k) to see if anyone is picking on him, and I've never noticed anything within the week. The other one eats better - she'll eat the Omega Flakes rather regularly. Any ideas? My water perimeters are amm - 0 nitrate - 5 nitrite - 0. pH 8.2 salinity 1.023 temp 74
I also noticed the other night after I turned the tank light off, they both were "twirling" together in the corner of the aquarium, about halfway up. Then they were vertical, instead of horizontal. They had their nose pointed towards the ground. Is this normal behavior? These are my first clowns, so I'm not sure what is normal, and what is aggressive behavior. This morning when the light was back on, they were swimming normal - and I didn't notice the larger one chase the little one at all.
Oh, and another question, is shimying normal for clowns? I believe I read somewhere that it's a sign of passiveness? What is normal twitching/wigglying look like, and what would be considered abnormal?
