Clown question

[David McKay]

Hi,

The other night I got my first fish, a pair of small Ocellaris Clowns. I'm
concerned that the water flow in my tank might be too much for them. There
are 2 MaxiJet 1200 powerheads and skimmer (also powered by a MaxiJet) on the
35G tank. The clowns are able to get their food, and they're eating. The
problem is, they look like they're always struggling against the current.

Do you think that's too much water flow for such small fish?

Thanks!

Regards,

Dave.

The smaller of my 2 Yellow Striped Maroon Clowns (the male I hope, please
god) likes to swim in the direction of one of the pumps current and then
turn in to it and give it what has become know as "the look" around our
house. It must like it because it will do it over and over when it could
easily go higher or lower to stay out of it. Don't worry it is having a
good time with the ocean motion and it's getting stronger at the same time.

My percula loves to be near the power head.
