Default Clownfish Swimming on its Side

So my false percula clowns do the oddest things when my daylights go off. they swim on their sides. the dominant one swims on its side about 1-2 inches below the other percula that swims sideways on the surface. Does this mean they might have paired up or is it just odd behavior? Before i got the second false percula, the clown would always sleep/swim next to the temperature gauge. These guys are so odd, i love it haha.

I would'nt try an anemone until your tank has been established for 9 months to a year.

When you're ready, try getting a tank raised specimen such as a rose bubble tip anemone.
