Just making sure

[Wuffletoast]

I had a clownfish suffer from bloat and now I just have a general worry for the other. I'm posting a video of the swim patterns to make sure it looks normal. I chalked the other one up to "clownfish just swim weird." So this is just for peace of mind. Thanks for any help and advice.

Just fine. "Clowns will be clowns and do clown things"

In my opinion looks a bit bored, maybe increase flow, fish love swimming

I have two fans for the tank. Should I adjust the placement for better flow?

What do you mean two fans?

Maybe full aquarium picture would help

Sorry. I'm still working on the lingo. Two circulation pumps

Fish appears normal. There is a flux of micro-bubbles which you can see forming under the rock.
I would not increase flow as it is resisting the amount of flow as it is.
I assume its eating?
Breathing appears normal

Swims straight to the top for feeding time.

It does make me curious - what happened to the other fish - had you posted this in another thread? I think I remember it

I don’t like the way this clown is swimming, a bit too stiffly. Is it still eating well?

Yes it's obviously swimming normally under a low/ if any current,.
The 'flux' of micro-bubbles maybe from the filter to the right of video, maybe providing more oxygen then needed, this will be cause of 'bubbles forming under rocks'

In regards to fish in video, it's definitely not 'swimming'. it apparently looks healthy and I'm sure.... Abit more flow will encourage its natural instinct 'swimming''

It is. It also gets zooms at least twice a day.

Sorry - what are "zooms"?

Do a quick dart from one side of the tank.

Close. The term is, "powerheads". Circulation pumps are what you put in your sump or back chamber to push water back into the display.

Darting can be a symptom of flukes - these parasites irritate a fish and cause them to "flash" (scratch on a surface) or swim fast in a burst. I suppose there could be other reasons as well, not sure what they would be though.
