My 2 clowns don't seem to like flow at all !! They stay pinned to one side of the tank all the time I was using a standard hang on the back filter and just installed a fluval 207 and with either one they just stay against the far side glass. They have only been in the tank 2 weeks but if I turn off the filter they are everywhere....... What gives ?? I didn't think a little current bothered them but I guess I'm wrong again lol
 
That’s normal. Clowns aren’t like other fish that swim in the flow, they also usually just pick a spot in the tank and hang out there.
 
They are fine with flow, clowns pick a spot and rarely move from that spot afterwards.
