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?
 
It could be turning into a female
 
I had thought it could be that. I just didn't remember if they change to female or male.
 
They all start out as males. How big is she
 
They all actually start off as "unsexed" juvis, then male, and then female.
