Flashing Clownfish

[mattypw]

Hi guys,
I just came home from college today and noticed two thing. One is that my ocellaris clown is much bigger than he was two weeks ago. And also, he is turning sideways and rubbing in the sand.
He seems fine otherwise and has no signs of external parasites (and I haven't added livestock for about 7 months) Anybody know why its doing this?

 

[Clue]

Is he paired up with a female?

 

[mattypw]

No, I was thinking that "he" might be a female since its pretty big. Its the only fish in the tank.

 

[Clue]

its possible that it is female. Mine used to mess around with the sand when I first introduced it to the tank but I have noticed it doesnt do it anymore. Possible that it is nesting and showing that it is ready to reproduce which wont happen since it is the only clown in the tank

It's like a dog she was happy to see you come back so it did a little dance
