Hello,
I'm new to the saltwater hobby. I just bought a 24g Aquapod about 4 weeks ago, cycled it for about 3 weeks and just bought my first fish yesterday!
I have an Ocellaris clownfish that is captive bred. I introduced it into my tank (fish only) during the day time and it seemed to swim around just fine. When night came it started darting around and then began swimming upward against the back wall of the tank. It swam upward towards the surface, against the back wall, in the same exact spot all night. I even woke up several times during the night to see if it was doing the same thing, which it was.
It did this all night and didn't stop until the next morning when my automatic timer lights went on.
Is this unusual behavior for a clown? Or should I not worry...
My lighting system has an Actinic light, a fluorescent, and a blue LED light. I have only the blue LED light on during the night from 10pm until 11am.
Should I change my lighting system? Should I get another clown in there for it to have company? What do you guys recommend... Thanks
