Sick Clown?

[pthoma79]

I got 2 clowns from my LFS on Thursday. The smaller one jumped out of the tank on Friday, and I got a new one today (Saturday). The one I got today is active, but has his top and bottom fins tucked tight into his body most of the time. Also, I did not notice it at the store, but his bottom fins have possibly been nipped off (about 1/2 of the black marking), so that the fin goes straight across, rather than being curved like normal. But, both are even, so I'm not sure if it was nipped, or genetic.
Sorry for the longwinded post, but does everything sound ok? Are the fins a dominance issue, or just being introduced into a new tank? The first 2 clowns I put in seemed to do just fine from the get go.
Thanks.

if they are the same its probably a birth defect that the breeder didn't catch, and if it isnt then its not a big problem enless the bigger one is picking on him as they some times do

What about the fins being tucked close to the body?

if mine are swimming they are tucked in, if when he stops and they dont pop out then that isnt right, but most of the time if they are cruising then they will be tucked in, even if hes barely moving, most of the time they should be tucked away as they are more for manoeuvring then anything, you should see one pop out when he turns, both when he stops , and when hes sleeping they will pop back and forth with no aparent sequance

I'm wondering if it was a submissive thing to my other (bigger) clown, or just being new to the tank. He seems to be doing better this morning. Thanks for the help, they're such cool little fish!
