Ocellaris Clown

[Leadfootedracer]

Is it normal for a juvenile ocellaris clown to "fight current"?

He is swimming like a banshee all over the tank, but will spend time facing directly at a powerhead and trying to swim directly towards it, getting nowhere.

Doesn't do it for long, maybe 20 seconds at a time, but continually returns back to it after a quick blast around the tank.

Sounds like he's just having fun! Mine use to do it all the time. They are not strong swimmers so he most likely is getting tired, resting, and going right back at it.

That's what I was thinking, I just wanted to make sure. LoL. Right now the tank is a mess from the sand swap the other day. I just put all the rock in, in a random pile. His "home" is in there, but he hasn't found it yet.
