I have two clown fish who act/swim normal 95% of the time, but for about 2 weeks now I will occasionally see one or both of them "shudder" or act like they're having a petit seizure for only a couple seconds. I have seen each of them do it at different times. They are both eating very well and look 100% normal. They're Being very social, following me from side to side in the tank. I tried to research a little and found it could be anything from beginnings of ich to normal mating/submissive behavior. They are pretty new fish, I've only had them about 4 weeks. Got them together. Any advice on normal or not? I just realized you can post videos on here so if I can catch them again I'll get a video.

(Water parameters: SG 1.024, temp 77, ammonia 0, ph 8.0, nitrite 0, nitrate 10)
 
More than likely mating/submissive behavior. Clowns are wierd.
