    So friday I went to get my clownfish pair and they only had one so i'm going back friday to get another clown. My question is what is normal clownfish behavior. She seems healthy she eats like a horse! But she is constantly swimming she never rests! I did a water change yesterday and she is doing well. Also every morning I find her in the upper corner of her tank but once the lights come on she is out and about again.

    Right now she is just all over up/down left/right. As long as she is eating I can assume she is ok than right?

    Yep. If she shows no physical signs of injury and she's eating than its should be fine,
