So i have a newly cycled tank, Tank completed cycle and so i decided to grab 2 oc clownfish from my LFS. they were stressed first day, but after that settled in a corner and claimed their territory, were acting fine. I had my aquarium set up at my girlfriends and unfortunately had to move literally 3 days later, so i transported my fish tank along with everything about 3 hrs away. When i put together the tank and added fish after acclimating properly, the fish were just swimming around pacing and i attributed it to stress so i didn't think too much of it, now 1 week later, the bigger oc is still pacing, the smaller one isnt doing it as much kinda just chilling in the same corner but occasionally pacing with the big one. They're both eating fine, I went from feeding once EOD(my local fish store recommendation) to once daily. I was thinking maybe the powerheads werent properly positioned and the flow was too much for them to handle? I just adjusted them so theyre pointing at eachother.. looking for anyone who's had anything similar happen that can give me some advice. Ive been crazy busy with the move and everything but will check water parameters tomorrow morning as ive just finished moving everything over today. hopefully that gives me some answers, or hopefully not because I'd hope everything is ok for them.
