Default Clowns Sad?
Hey, I'm new to the hobby, and have these 2 tomato clowns. Ever since I got them, they have basically stayed in 1 corner of the tank. They basically come out to eat and otherwise just swim around in a 3 inch cube of space in that corner. Is this normal or is it possible that there is something wrong with them? Anyone have any thoughts.

Actually i think that is normal, but i never had Tomato clowns. My old Maroons picked a spot and stuck there, made a giant mess in the sand and laid eggs every few weeks. They only started to move around the tank (not including feeding time) when i added my BTA.
