I have a bonded pair of Picasso in my tank they stay in the back corner of my tank 95% of the time they may dart to the middle while feeding but rarely. I have a bubble too Nem in there as well they have zero interest in it. Any suggestions

In my experience, clowns like the corners. Mine have lived in the corner all their lives. If they have adopted that back corner I doubt they will leave it. Try putting something there, like a pile of rocks or a big coral or something, try to force them to move to another corner.

Thats why I put my rocks right up against the back glass, I like my fish to be out front.

I don’t mind pushing rocks up against back wall but I like to have good flow around all my rocks to keep DT from building up!!!
