Hello all,
I have introduced my first fish (A true perc) into my 55g about a week and a half ago. The tank had completed its cycle prior to this and my water parameters seem fine.
The issue is with this clowns swimming. She does not seem to be struggling to swim however she stays in the back of the aquarium at the very surface and almost swims slanted to position herself between the glass and the surface of the water. When I feed she tends to swim normal while she chases down the food, however, she will not venture very far.
She was in a cramped tank at the LFS with a pretty big/aggressive lunar wrasse. I think the wrasse may have nibbled at her side as she has a little white mark. No ich though. I have also freshwater dipped. When I put her back in the DT, post dip, she will swim normal around the rocks at the bottom and then straight back to hiding at the surface.
Is this normal? If I add a smaller clown will this giver her a little confidence? or will they both just swim at the top?
Note- She doesn't appear to be hosting anything so its not that. No powerheads/etc.
Thank you all!
