Hello everyone, I am new to the hobby have a tank, Fluval Evo 13.5 about 2 weeks old, I first had a goby and pistol shrimp in there and they did not seem to have a problem, but now I just added my clownfish and they are swimming up against the front glass, seem to be swimming kinda hard, and won’t venture deeper into the tank. This is their second day in the tank so I’m not sure wether it’s a flow issue and the current is too strong or if they’re just shy still. I want to make sure they have the perfect environment!

Flow equipment:
Sincra Secce silent 1.0 (or maybe 0.5)
Aqamai KPS powerhead on the 50L FOWLR setting at the opposite side of the tank pointing directly at rock space to disperse the flow.

if someone could let me know that would be great!

My clownfish normally stick close to the glass.... I think a short video will really help us to answer your question, if its possible.

The LFS owner when i bought mine said they'll stick in a corner for a few days till they get their bearings and eventually they'll settle down and find their spot they like
Looks like they're happy to me so they should be fine in a few days they'll find their spot
