Just got 2 clown fish 2 days ago. Tank has been cycled now for 2 weeks. I did a drip acclimation for 45 minutes in a 1 gallon bucket. They have just been swimming downwards and sometimes come out to wander around. They eat just fine when time comes. Is this something I should be worried about or give them some more time before they really start to be adventurous? I do have an extra tank laying around I could QT but I figured there are some people who could tell me whether if it’s normal or not.

Ammonia 0.0
Nitrite 0.0
Nitrate about 5-10
Salinity 1.025
Temp 77-78

I can’t see the video but since they are clowns and they are acting weirdly, I go with it’s normal.
