just got my ocellaris and he seems to spend a lot of time swimming at the top of the tank. Do they normally do this?
 
How much flow do you have in the tank? Is the surface of the water getting much movement? What is your Ammonia at?
 
Give the fella a little time to adjust to the new place. It is common for new clowns to spend the first few days (or weeks) at the surface (usually in a corner).
 
Yeah mine all do too I have lots of rbta's on a rock and they won't even go in it:(
 

HOW MUCH DOES A FISH’S FEEDING REQUIREMENTS AFFECT YOUR STOCKING DECISIONS?

  • A lot! - I avoid fish that require frequent or specialized feeding

  • Not much. I’m willing to adjust my routine

  • Not at all. Feeding demands don’t limit my stocking choices

  • I usually learn about the demanding feeding schedule after buying the fish!
