Are clown fish inherently weird (behaviorally)

[kingkapoor]

I have a 15 gallon tall with three fish, two damsels.


My clownfish tends to hang in the upper corner of the tank by one of the flow pumps. Seems to be eating fine, hes been doing this for over a month. Doesnt seem to be any aggression as he is the alpha if anyone else gets in his territory.

I had another clownfish about 6 months ago in my 75 gallon who just swam up and down the tank all day and night.

Yep, they are strange little fish.

That's a tank red clown for ya

Oh yeah, just wait til you find them all laying on the bottom like they are dead and they are just sleeping. Or, they are sitting there with their face shoved into a random coral for hours.

Yes, they are freaks!

Wait till your maroon clown starts to attack your arm each time you reach into the tank. Doesn’t hurt but annoying.

Mine will lay on their side on the anemone perfectly still. It's so crazy looking.
