I have a single clown fish in my tank. Today I noticed him at the lower left corner of my tank and speradicaly jerking or spasming. I have heard that they do this when another Clownfish is in the tank but this is the only one I have.

I decided to try and feed my fish and he came up and was going crazy for food. Could I have been feeding to little? I feed Formula 2 pellet food once a day, and I feed a 3 or 4 pinches of it. It sinks kind of fast so I try and put enough in the tank that it gets eaten before it makes it to the bottom of the tank. I also feed a frozen food that is a variety for Omnivores, I can not remember the name right now. I feed it every other day about 1/4 of a cube. Should I be feeding them more often?

After I fed them the clown fish seemed to quick jerking around, but it has me a bit worried. Anyone have any info they can help me with?

I had thought it could be that. I just didn't remember if they change to female or male.

They all actually start off as "unsexed" juvis, then male, and then female.
