So my 2 Molly's (pair) have been great in my 100 gallon reef (in progress) but about a week ago I noticed the female molly would stick right at the top of the tank while the Male and the 2 other clownfish behave normally. Levels nitrate 0 Nitrite 0 ammonia 0 salinity 1.026 (on my hydrometer). Thx again

Also should I do a water change? (50%)
Most likely that the female is just tired from the Male constantly pestering her! With Mollies it’s recommended to have 3 females for every male to prevent this from happening. Either add two more females or remove the male is my best advice :)

It’s aggression behavior as the clowns are probably intimidating while the male is pestering her to mate - not unusual
