percula clown

[cncd11]

i just got a percula clown and it is about an inch long and it keeps swiming back and forth towards the back of the tank for a good 5 hours. I have never had a fish really do this this long he looks really healthy is this normal or could the fish be sick?

From the posts I've seen on here I think most clowns do that at first. Mine did.

also i was wondering how youo tell the difference between male and feemale?

The Female is the bigger one in the tank, that is all I know.

Clowns are born non gender. They will form a pair and become male or female. I have herd that if the female dies the male can then become a female and take a male mate.

He will be hiding for a while until he get used to the new surrounding. Mine did the same as well. But now they're just everywhere.... :happyfish
