clown habit

[milkshake]

I have a clown that loves to stay in the upper left corner of my tank. I dont know if there is something in the tank that he or she
is spooked over. Right now, this is the only fish in the tank.

pretty normal behavior...mine picked a spot they like and spend most of their time there.

Mine did a similar thing. When I added a second it became more active and social.

Mine did the same thing in the corner, but now it rarely comes out of the bta they are hosting... =)

I'm new (as you can tell) at keeping clown fish. I have a 40gal. with 3 powerheads. Within the next day or two I'll will be taking out 2 powerheads. I'll be hooking up a CPR100 overflow along with a sump/fuge that is 36x12x16. My question is, will having the one powerhead be a problem if I decide to put a BTA in the tank? What kind of precautions do some of you take to make sure that a BTA does not end up in a powerhead? What is the most exceptable nitrate levels for a BTA?

my clowns did the same thing when first introduce, now they only do it at night and they are active during the day

It's night time and I took a look at him. He doesn't look like he's doing too good. He is turning sideways and fluttering alot. There are no spots or legions on him. Only thing I can think of, he has an internal parasite. If he is still alive in the morning, what can I do? A freshwater dip?
