I first got interested in this type of fish is because of its looks. However, now that it has been in my tank for a while his behaivor is the best out of all my fish. For the first three or four days he would swim with my three mollies. My sis and I joked he wanted to be a molly (this is before I knew they liked to have partners). The pets store lady said they are fine alone, almost made it seem like they don't care for partners. I've discovered they do, and will be getting another when I come back from vacation.
My clown, in the meantime though, seems to be trying to "school" by himself. He'll go to the back of the tank, and its like he can see his reflection. Then he'll swim back and forth quite rapidly, stopping at each end to look at himself. It looks really funny. Is this really what he is doing.
Also, I've read because they have no scales they are susceptible to ich. what is the best way to prevent this?
