Hi All,

Have this clown for approx. 2 weeks.

Just the last 2 days he started swimming near the surface, looks like his pectoral fins are moving rapidly? Does seem as if he is being bullied by the other clown

Still eating well enough

Should I be worried

Attaching video (hope you can open)

Thanks

If the gills are moving rapidly that is not good. If it’s getting beat up that is not good.

Keep your eyes on the situation and be prepared to separate the two if the weak one is getting beaten to death. These “pairings” don’t always work out. They like to select their own mates and often reject the ones that we hope will work out.
