Ok, help me calm my nerves if you can. I got two juvi black clowns about a week or two ago.
Let me explain their normal behavior before I explain the problem. One fully barred, and one half (mis-barred I guess?) During daylight and actinic time, the misbarred is barely active just chillin out in the flow, and the full bar is always crazy acting, darting here and there eating whatever tiny particles he can find.
For the past two nights I've gone into the room late and noticed them both in the bottom corner on top of each other, well it looks more like the mis-barred is almost trapping the other one. While this is going on the full barred is almost completely white and pale looking! If I tap on the glass or turn the light on, they both come out of the corner and act normal, and his color comes back. Is this normal???
Water is perfect, 79 degrees, 1.024-25, 8.3, no ammonia/trates.
I just want to make sure this is normal. They are so cool and fun to watch, not to mention twice the price of normal clowns, I don't want to lose one or both.
Any help is appreciated, thanks.
