I bought two false percs a week ago and they have been doing very well. Today i did a 5 gallon water change ( 37 gallon tank) and my clowns seem to be staying at the top of the water.

Ammonia=0
nitrate=0
nitrite=0
sg=1.025

should i be worried?

Is he breathing fast? If not I wouldn't be too worried for now.

Could be. Clowns get that nickname for being total goofy balls. :D With them breathing normal I would just wait to see what they are like in the morning.

they just periodically go to the very top for 30 seconds and then go back down.. idk whether to be worried or not
