clownfishes keep fighting
 
I bought 2 ocellaris clowns about a month ago. Up until a few days ago, one of them would occasionally charge the other. The one being charged would do the weird twitch thing so I assumed it would be ok since it was showing submission to the aggressive clown. But now, the previously submissive one chases the other clown around the tank relentlessly. The clown being chased just swims near my frag rack now. So why the sudden change in behavior? Did I end up with 2 females or is there still a chance they will form a pair?

usually what happens is the smaller of the two will become the male. So they might just be duking it out to figure out which one makes the switch...

Rbacchiega: the thing is that they are both roughly the same size, that and their sudden change in behavior had me worried but I guess I should wait it out and see what happens.

Kalifornia: lets just hope you're right :lol:
