My Clown seems to be OCD. He has been swimming this pattern all day and hasn't eaten in four days. Is this bad? He is new, but didn't seem to be ocd at the store. Does he miss his mates? There are no others in the tank atm. Oops, heres the link http://youtu.be/Kh5XJYLYZLo Also forgot to mention he won't eat flake or frozen mysis. Have yet to try nori...will go to the store later

So just read sk8r's post on stressed fish and this is definitely that, which is what I assumed and am now more worried, he still going at it like mad, probably even faster than before.
 
Clowns are bizarre as far as behavior goes IMO. I would pass on the nori and try some garlic extract on you mysis. That's how I got my last fish to eat. Someone said cyclopeeze is something almost no fish will turn down. At least he's swimming, mine stayed in the corner swimming vertical for a week. They still are not swimming like I want them to, but they are moving around a little.

The first percs I had just stopped swimming when the lights went out and floated at the top. Never seemed to hurt them, I had them for 6 years.
