Clown Behavior?????

I noticed that my clown likes to scratch/play in the sand. He goes down and starts to swim rapidly through the sand kicking up the sand. His color is bright and vivid with no white spots, he is eating extremely well (the little pig), but doesn't venture to far from his spot except to eat. My ammonia is .1, rates and rites are 0, and 1.022 on SG. Should I be worried?

I have had the tank up for about three months. The clown has been in there for a month now.:D

What kind of test kit are you using for the ammonia? If you are using Aquarium Pharm. ammonia test it's probably off. I have only seen one of those test kits so far that tests ammonia accurately. Mine sure as heck doesn't. My ammonia hasn't changed off of .25 for 3 months on my test, but then I test it with Salifert and its 0. I'd go get a second opinion on that ammonia reading. Just to make sure you don't have something to worry about.
