Normal clown behavior after adding new clown?

[Harry g]

I just added in the black storm clownfish today and the black and white striped one, which has been in for a week before, which I think is called a Darwin clownfish is now swimming on its side at the top? ChatGPT said that it’s normal behavior and that the Darwin clownfish is the non dominant one and the black storm is the dominant clownfish?

I think you may have issues because the clowns are roughly the same size. Ideally a larger fish is the dominant female, the notably smaller clown likely male. Two dominant fish are going to fight. Personally I try to leave the light off for a couple hours or more during acclimation. ChatGPT has never raised clownfish. Welcome to R2R.
