Well guys, I need some help...sort of.

I have been reading that clown fish enjoy swimming against the current of the powerhead. Mine does not do this. Is everything okay?

Thanks.

Some will some won't.. It's much the same story with anemones, some will take others won't.. Everythings fine :)

Mine are lazy - they seem to spend most of the time around some rocks which receive very little flow.

Don't worry ;)

i had 3 different pairs of clowns in my time. every single pair that i have had has been boring and just stuck to one corner ! very frustrating

Whilst it is said that clowns don't need anenome's, I don't think you see their true behaviours until they are hosting in one. I also think that tank bred clowns have different behaviours to wild caught.

I loved to watch my previous pair of wild caught percs host their BTA - it seems to give them something to do ;)

my wild caught percs wouldnt host their huge rose bubbletip. its not their natural nem tho so cant expect much!

Sweet. My one is just swimming around playing in the rockwork and the candy cane. She sleeps in there at night.
