hey guys
Were new to this and just added 2 perculas about 3 weeks ago they were very hardy when we 1st got them the one is still but the other one weve noticed is swimming in one spot. Like one day it swam in the same area of the tank all day and didnt leave it... only to eat it did.... Is it okay???? why is it doing this???

Was it swimming against the current? Was it in a spot where the flow might be the heavist?

Some clowns will just do that sometimes. Not very demanding when it comes down to space.

One of my clowns favors the back upper left corner for hours. I would be worried if it won't leave it's spot to eat.
