Ocellaris Behavior Question

[1F2FRFBF]

I have a black and white ocellaris that's been in the tank for a couple of weeks. Is it normal for these fish to be wandering around the tank after lights-out? It seems like he never stops moving. Don't fish usually find a place to settle in for the night?

Givin' myself a push to the front of the line... does anyone have insomniac clownfish?

maybe hes just floating iwth the current?, mine used to go in circles...pretty fun to watch

My clowns have their days where they travel around at night, and some where they got straight to the mag-float and settle in.

Oh, this guy loves the current. He's up there when I turn the powerhead on, swimming like he's on a little fishy treadmill.

At night he does slow down, but it does still look like he's making swimming movements. He doesn't appear to have adopted a home yet, so maybe that's why he's wandering aimlessly?

every once in a while mine will purposely swim in front of the powerhead and get pushed across the front of the tank! it's a blast to watch! he's like a little kid! but yes mine wanders at night too, but when i get up, he's in hs corner barely moving! i think he's waiting for me to get him a host, but i'm not sure about that yet.
