Sideways swimming clown...

[thedj]

My clown today is swimming sideways. He has not returned to normal swimming. Any advice as to how to treat him. I cannot get a good look at him because he is swimming toward the rear of the tank. I check my paramiters today, they are as follows:
Temp - 77
pH - 8.0 lights off
salt - 1.023
Am - 0
NO2 - 0
NO3 - 0
CA - 360
Alk - 10
Any advice would be great.
Thank you

Can you post a picture of him? Is he eating, breathing normal?

I am not able to post a picture and my lights are still off... I am waiting to see him once the lights turn on. It will be another hour or so before the lights turn on. I have notice that he did just start swimming normal again, but only to immidiately go back to swimming sideways(always at the rear of the tank, where its hardest to see him). I will look for breathing habits and maybe try feeding, but I dont normaly feed till night time.
:happy:

Clownfish do some pretty werid things, including sleeping and swimming oddly. I gues that is why the call them clownfish....
Let us know how he's doing when the lights go on.
