Fish twitch?

My larger o. clown, when she goes near my mag-float, twitches. She's fine when she swins away, but has been doing this for the last hour. Thoughts?

its a dominance thing... apparently she thinks that the mag-float is dominant and she is submitting...

or the other clown could be around and you just dont realize..


either way its about as normal as normal can be

Could be flirting...

Maybe you're gonna have lots of little baby mag floats soon.
