Clownfish continiously swimming slightly up

[BinaryRun]

Hello guys,

I got my two clownfish two days ago. The larger one always swims in a slightly upwards position, unless he's going after food to eat. My tank is fully cycled, so that shouldn't cause any issues. Is it a dominance move towards the smaller clownfish, regular clownfish behaviour or something that I should worry about?

Sincerely,
BinaryRun

Mine did this too. I think it's a typical goofy clownfish thing.

Ocellaris?

 

[kaz1961]

My clowns do that too.

 

[Dealseer]

Mine do not do that.

Mine are always on some sort of angle. Up, down, left, right.

Mine do a similar thing, except they frequently bob up and down.
They're little brats!

When I first got mine, they would float to the top. I panicked and stuck them into QT. But then I noticed that they were just weird. One of them even likes to sleep while stuck to one of my circulation pumps. Go figure.

Yeah, I have two. Glad it's nothing to worry about.

Mine does the same thing. Also kind of goes up and down side to side.

Mine does that and also swims in circles for hours.

I added an anemone so my clowns so would have a host. The host decided to settled on the opposite side of where the clowns hang. Clowas are weird but fun.

My two swim at about any angle. Especially when the male is guarding the eggs.
