Clownfish pacing the tank

[darkside7747]

Bought a pair of clown fish one male one female and they’ve just been pacing throughout the tank they have no threats and the tank conditions are good anyone know why they do this?

I have a few questions. How big is your tank? How much room do they have to swim? Do they have any places to hide? How long ago were they added?

It's probably looking for something to kill.

when new to a tank, they often glass surf, a term used for going up and down or across glass following their reflection. It simmers down in time

Some fish take more time to feel comfortable.

How big is the tank? A pic or video will help, otherwise we all just guessing.

lower the white intensity which should calm them down a little
