Clown fish swimming vertically?

Excellent advice above /\ /\ /\

Thank you everyone! I have not seen anyone going after the clowns. The only larger fish is the tang, and he really doesn't mess with them. The 6 line is always on the prowl swimming through the rocks, and could care less. He only chases the cleaner wrasse when it is trying to pick off of the 6 line. I have been rising the salinity slowly, and am at 1.024 today. The clear part on her side fins is worn down to the black, with one notch taken out(may be a bight?). She eats like a pig and poop looks fine too. I will keep wathing her. Thanks again for all of your input.

I have a little perc that "wheelies" while swimming into the current, but swims horizontally all other times. It seems the salinity and body damage should be addressed, but I think the orientation while swimming is normal. Not sure if it was stated whether the clown swims like that at all times.

thank you for all of the help. The female clown does not display this odd behavior any more. She is back to being a little piggy and pushing other fish out of the way for food.

Could to hear. If I understand correctly what is going on with her tail, it should grow back. However if it's getting worse and not better, it needs attention.

Increase 02 rate. The surface of the water should be agitated.
