Hi all! I got my first saltwater aquarium and did the fishless cycle I added my first set of clowns yesterday. When I first added them after acclimating for about 15 to 20 minutes and then slowly dropping water in their bags for my tank I finally let them in their new home. They stayed at the top and were kind of swimming around for a little bit. But now they are kind of staying at the bottom swimming in one spot and I noticed the slightly bigger one seems to kind of pester the smaller one. They really seem to be interested in the walls of the tank staying near it and running into it a lot.

Any advice or knowledge is appreciated thanks so much!

Welcome to R2R !!! Thats normal on clowns. They are looking for the perfect spot since they are territorial and then getting ready to see who will be a male or female..
