Hey guys, looking for a little insight on this situation I'm having.
I had purchased a pair of clowns (true perc, labeled as picassos), they lived harmoniously for 2-3 months, then the larger one started picking on the smaller one to the point of it cowering in the corner. Eventually it got so stressed that when I finally separated them, it was too late.
I then picked up 2 new clowns (also true percs) and placed them in the tank. They all seem to be getting along for the past week, but I noticed something odd the other night and couldn't find anything on it when I searched.
At night, the original perc (bully one) sleeps in the BTA, but the other 2 hover together in a corner. It seems that those 2's color becomes paler then normal at night, while the other remains vivid. Is this a sign of illness, or just a normal sleeping pattern? They are all healthy and eating. My parameters are:
Temp :76.9-78.1
pH: 8.1
Salinity: 1.024
Ammonia: 0
Nitrite: 0
Nitrate: 0
I feed them with cyclopeeze 2x a day and some flakes every other.
