Clown acting funny

[slider101]

I recently added another flase percula clown to my tank. He is smaller than the other one and the larger one is mean to him. That isn't the problem. I noticed today the smaller one is on the opposite side of the tank and standing almost straight up and wiggling around really fast and then stops then does it again in the same spot. What is he doing?

Sounds to me like he's just being a clown fish. They do really really weird things sometimes.

Guess that is where they get their name lol. I think he may be staking out his area of the tank.

Clowns will definitly act funny from time to time, thats what makes them so much fun to own and watch! No real reason for concern in this case.

I think it is their way of showing dominance.

they will act funny. when i first got mine he went to a corner of my tankand swam sorta upright for the night. at first i thought something was wrong. but i guess that is just where he sleeps. he does it every night!
