fish twitching

[goodoleboyz250]

my fish does this alot and i dont know if its a good thing or not.they shake real fast it looks like they are trying to get something off.it only last a second but i dont know if its normal

Is it a clownfish?

 

[goodoleboyz250]

yes

 

[wbholwell]

Not to worry- my clown does this when another fish messes with him or gets to close. Something is just ticking him off.

Yes Very Normal ,i Have 7 Kinds Of Clowns And They All Do It

^^^ really? My tomato clown has never done it, so I figured only ocellaris, maybe perculas did it.

It's a submissive thing...the males do it to show they are submissive to the female. I guess they can do it to other fish as well.

At least that's what I've been told.

I thought one clown was dead floating on the top and the other was dead laying on the bottom the first time. turns out that is just the way it is with them.
