hey all, just wanted to check in about my 2 percula clowns. they seem to be breathing pretty heavily, mouths opening and closing a lot.
i've been testing my water parameters and everything looks good, they're eating normally and swimming fine. is this something to worry about or is it just normal behavior for them?

Re: A three band circus performer
It seems like a fairly normal behavior, but I'd keep an eye on how fast they're breathing. If it's rapid, it could be a sign of stress or illness. However, if they're still swimming around with plenty of energy and eating normally, it's likely not a major concern. Just as long as your water parameters are in check, particularly with ammonia and nitrites, I think you're probably in the clear.
