Well I finally got finished with my cycle and so I went and bought some Ocellaris Clown Fish and I slowly acclimated them for about 4 hours. Well before I even got home with the fish I noticed that one of them was hiding out in the corner of the bag and not really moving alot. Well once I put him in the tank he started swimming around in circles and doing flips like he was caught in a tornado and the other was swimming around and checking out the tank. Well after about an hour of this I started to suspect that it got an air bubble some how and thought he was doomed. I left him alone and checked on him the next day and he was swimming normal. As soon as I turned on the light though he started doing it again for about 20 mins then swam around normal the rest of the day. Later that night I turned the lights off and he did it again. It is almost like he forgets how to swim. I turned on the light this morning and the same thing happened but he did it for about 10 mins and calmed down. Tonight I got home he was swimming fine and I turned out the lights and he started doing it again. He is eating normally and everything else seems normal but this. He acts drunk and like he doesn't know how to swim. Maybe he got hurt when they were trying to catch him? Anyone have any thoughts?
