Maybe I'm just a bit paranoid since these are my first two saltwater fish (2) Percula Clownfish. This little guy swam around for the first couple of hours in the tank with it's buddy, then he went to the top near a pump return line and has swam around there since.
His buddy on the other hand was swimming around the tank and decided he would hide amongst my rocks.
Is this normal behavior?
Pictures:
Clown in question (couldn't get a pic of the other because he's behind the rocks)
Here's what they both looked like when they were first introduced to the tank, swimming around, enjoying it.
And rather than starting a new thread, how does this Frogspawn look to you guys? LFS gave it to me for free said to give it a shot considering my water parameters were in check (see below). He was opened up fully within 2 hours of being in the tank, seemed to like where he was. Closed up slightly before I took the pic because I think I bumped the tank accidentally. I mounted him to a small rock to be able to move him around if necessary.
Thoughts? Comments much appreciated
