My clowns don't know there is a whole 55 gallons for them to swim in!

It's interesting, my clowns of about 2 weeks in the display, dont realise that the rest of the tank is open, they stay near the front except at night

, when they inhabit a small hole in my rock. Hmmm Normal? :notsure:

Do you have other members in the tank? It could be that they are afraid to venture out, still. If you have other, larger fish that they see, that could be a deterrent?

Fairly normal behavior at first, give them time.

 

[reef diver]

Nope first fish, besides a shrimp. Thanks, they are tank raised, so apparently dont know what my cleaner is, so he waves his antennae at them, all day, and they venture over a bit, then when he waves again they get scared and leave. LOL its so entertaining.

That's normal because in the wild they don't stray too far from their host anemone due to predators.

 

[poniegirl]

What kind of clowns are they?

It took my clowns months (literally) to start exploring the tank.

Lol, sometimes my parents turn on a light when its dark , and it spooks the fish, and they dart back and forth in the tank, yes i no this is bad, thats why im getting moonlights, to lessen this effect.

LOL my old clowns used to do the same thing thts perfectly normal, and i agree it is very amusing when you turn on a light
