Clowns sticking to top corner

[jonleeroyix]

I just got two clowns today and they seem to have found their home at the top left corner of the tank, literally on the overflow. This one is the backup so it doesn’t actually flow but I just wanted to see if this is normal. Also I saw a very similar post to this saying something about their breathing, what is considered a normal pace for clownfish that size?

Can't see their mouths in your video so it's difficult to see signs of rapid breathing. I wouldn't suggest you touch them though, they're most likely just stressed out and are still getting used to their new tank (touching will increase their stress.)

How did you acclimate them to you tank?

Looks like sleep time. Here is my big dummy sleeping right now.

Looks like normal clown behavior to me. They host corners and pumps until they decide to systematically host lps.

Looks fine, they can take time to get used to a new tank.

My pair still sleeps like that in the corner of the tank almost a year later.....totally normal behavior.

I had a pair that hung out at the surface next to the overflow for over a year. One baby BTA managed to anchor on the glass just before being drawn into the overflow and the clowns claimed it as theirs. It was priceless watching them jump out of the water trying to reach it during water changes! The anemone eventually moved to a safer spot and the clowns followed it.

I floated the bag in the tank, and added 1/2 cup of tank water every 5 minutes dumping out half every so often until the salinity levels were the same as the tanks. the Salinity of the water they came in was actually around 39 ppt, so i ended up having to slowly dilute it with my tanks 35 ppt
