It is entirely normal for Clowns to sleep on their sides, upside down, piled up on top of each other, straight up or down.

They aren't right in the head which is what makes them so interesting. Make them prove they are dead before reaching for a net. That being said, they are somewhat sensitive and require good water conditions, very stable temperature f is my choice to help keep parasites away. Good filtration, lots of circulation and controlled amounts of quality food. Bloodworms or Brine Shrimp through a cone-feeder is an excellent way to feed. Clowns are PIGS let them stay a little hungry. The net has led me to photos of some seriously obese clowns!

This isn't good for them, the water conditions or your wallet if your buying premium foods. My typical schedule would be: 1 time per day 4 days a week - 2 times per day 2 days a week - 0 times per day 1 day per week. SALT -. I have a 75 gallon that has all "scaleless" salt hating fish in it. Everyone is happy, looks great and should remain free of parasites with that salt and temperature combination. Happy Loaching!
