Hey guys, so i have a pair of ocellaris clownfish that have been together for the better part of 2 years. I added a bubble tip anemone about 4 weeks ago and they each host in it.
But for the past week the female is acting odd. She is not hosting anymore nor is she really swimming around the aquarium, Biocube 29, She is just swimming in the lower part of the tank only in the front. She spends all day there except for feeding time.
What does this mean? because she use to swim all over the place, host with the male etc...

What are water parameters? What else do you have in there? Lighting?

The ph is around 8.5 the salinity is on the high side around 1.028 everything else is in check. The lighting is twin 36 watt pc and the tank has basically just coral and asteria snails.
She does do the tail slap thing which moves the sand, and when the male comes over she does the twitch thing.

i agree. if u have any corals that might be stinging cell organisms as well, there might be some chemical warfare going on, but with the behavior shes showing towards the male, i would say time for some eggs!
