Clownfish questions

[Zenonymous]

I bought two clowns from my LFS two days ago. They were not paired and I got them from different tanks.

My first question is...

I put them together and watched them closely all day, to make sure they dont fight. They seemed to take to eachother VERY well. Immediately followed eachother and they looked incredibly happy (much happier than they did in seperate tanks). The first day, she zoomed all over the tank. This morning, I noticed she was in the sand, moving side to side, in a manner that would move the sand out of her way. When I feed her today, she still zoomed all over the tank and, other than her doing this, she acts 'normal' ‍ The male stays close by her but he swims constantly.

Should i be concerned or is this normal clownfish behavior? She doesnt appear to be sluggish or anything, just stays in this area. Is she marking her spot? Could it be the start of an illness? Any help or advice would be appreciated.


Second part of my question:

Is there a website or poster where I can learn all the different types of clowns? I know there are hundreds of variations so its sooo confusing. I want to learn the differences so I can identify them when I see them at my LFS. Where is the best place to learn? Thank you.

A video would help to confirm for sure, but it sounds normal to me, my clowns always digging in the sand.

Sure, there are lots of clownfish ID charts online, just type "clownfish ID chart" into google:

Weird. It said it loaded but isnt attached. My apologies. Lets try this again.

Most questions asking if thier clowns behavior is normal can be answered, just clowns being clowns. Your clowns will eventually start to quarrel so one becomes dominant (female) and one becomes submissive (male). It usually works itself out but sometimes one will need to be removed.
