Hi all!
My clownfish Wally has been acting up weird lately. He suddenly lays down on the sand in a corner of the tank and kinda rests there for a little bit and then he just starts swimming again. He doesn't seem to be in distress. His skin and body look fine as well.
He does this randomly during the day or at night.
He is eating very well (mysis shrimp and brine shrimp).
His only tank mate, a Goby, is also eating and seems to be doing very well. I have also some hermit crabs that are working all day long and look fine.
could you please check the video and tell me what you guys think about this behavior?
Is he sick? Or is this normal?
Any thoughts are appreciated.
Tank parameters at the time of the video are:
10G
Salinity 1.026 - 35
pH 8.0
Ammonia 0
Nitrite 0
Nitrate 10 to 20
Temp within 78-79
I have a Tidal 55 filter with extra biomedia in there and chemi-pure blue. Also have a Hydor koralia nano 565 gph.
