Clown swimming laps

[kv2wr1]

I recently upgraded from a 24g nano to 40B. I cycled the tank before transferring everything over. The water parameters are good and the fish are now eating like they did in the nano. They seem to like the bigger tank alot since there are 2 rock islands instead of one.

The female clown is hilarious. She will swim right in front of my vortech when it is full bore and swim with the accelerated current and do laps around the tank. She'll do about 8 laps and then go host the zoas. Then she'll do another 8 laps and go host the zoas. The male has started doing this as well but not as much. They don't seem frightened but happier in the bigger tank. Anyone else have clowns that actively swim like this and explore their tank? They used to just hover in 2 spots in the nano.

Mine have a whole 90g almost all to themselves and all they do is waddle in place in the corner of the tank. I think they are almost getting too fat to move.

The only time my clowns have done that is when they were temporarily separated from each other. Not sure what is going on in your case. Maybe try and post a video?

My clowns are usually on the left side of the tank near the pump that makes the current.

sounds cool. I'd love to see a video of this. Mine never stray too far from my RBTA, only to eat.
