2 New ClownFish

I just added 2 new clowns to my tank and they didn't go and hide in a corner at all; just started swimming around from the get go.......seems a bit strange but nice to see!

The 6-line isn't bullying them too much either. So two nice surprises!!!

Although she is bullying them a bit - to be expected though!!!!!

Congrats! They sound like a nice pair of aquacultured clowns, hence their boldness. All they know is captivity and that big hand that comes to give them their chow! These clowns can get very comfortable with their keepers. I had a male Percula who loved getting 'pet' everyday before dinner!

All the lights in the tank are now off but the new clownfish (a little bit bullied by the 6-line) are staying in the top right hand corner. Should I be concerned that they are not finding themselves a sleeping corner in the tank?

How long have they been in your tank? If its 48 hours or less, I would not be concerned at all. Give them a few days to settle in.
