Clownfish swimming like crazy

[Rodan]

Hi guys I got a new clownfish he is swimming like crazy along the glass. When I turn off the pump he stops swimming like crazy I am not sure what his means exactly, but if anyone knows why he is swimming like crazy along the glass I would be thankful. I just find it so odd how when I turn the pump off he is relaxed. (I have a 32 g bio cube that I have had since November)

A video would help a lot (as mentioned).
Clowns are well known for their weird behaviors, so strange for any fish doesn’t necessarily apply to them.

That hahah. The medics need a video and water info and stuff to determine if its a clown doing clown things or if he is sick

He didn’t eat when I tried to feed him

They all do that when new to a tank, turn your light off and let him chill out for 24 hours...and don't try to feed him...he won't eat until he calms down.

very typical behavior when it sees its own reflection.

here is a vid of him swimming
My Nitrite is 0
ammonia 0
calcium 430
dkh 11
nitrate 14
ph between 8-8.2
mg 1100

Let me know if anything seems off here, but maybe I am just stressing for no reason.

Stray voltage from the pump?

It could be a million different reasons. If it's a lone clown it could think it's reflection is another clown. They like to be in pairs. I would also check ammonia, nitrite levels also chlorine
