Clownfish Twitch????

[smalls383]

I have two ocellaris clowns and I have recently seen that they twitch sometimes for a few seconds. It doesnt seem to bother them, such as they continue to go on what they are doing, but is this normal

Tottally normal from what i presume there showing off to each other trying to see which is going to be the female, but i may be wrong.

Really...that is interesting. Yes these clowns have only been together for about 5 days and were puchased at the same time. The were in different tanks in my LFS and are my first fish....

Also, they are a black and orange ocellaris...

They just need their fix...

Yes, that's courting behavior.

my maroon used to do it. seemed she'd only do it when i came up to the tank, as a kind of intimidating twitch. But she's grown out of it since. Completely normal.
