2 clownish and my salfin tang swimming in bottom corner

[jrhunter0000]

Just tested everything it's on key I came home seems my 3 fish have dug a whole in the sand and all 3 are swimming against the glass in one corner. It's weird has anyone seen this behavior before and maybe can give me some tips. I seen them going to the top of the water maybe for air so I added another power head to circulate water off the top and still they sit in the bottom corner. Puzzled here lol

maybe they got scared?i would try feeding and see how they respond.when my fish are hungry they all swim in a line kinda funny to watch

Eat like pigs lol pellets and seaweed looks like the pair of clownish are rubbing on each other I think mating and the salfin is filming it all they seems to be doing ok I just panicked just got the clowns looks like they mated fast lol

Clowns don't need an anemone, to reproduce, or anything else.

Chances are, the tang was trying to score some free caviar.

You could pickup a plain clay pot from Lowe's or HD for a couple bucks. If you plan on collecting the eggs to raise the babies; much easier to remove the clay pot with the eggs instead of an anemone or mushroom that has the eggs attached. ---- just my 1/2 cent
