I have 2 clowns (oscelaris or however you spell it) that I have had since they were pretty small. About 2 years now. One is clearly larger and the female and has been since I got them. The other is smaller and clearly the male.
2 years and zero issues whatsoever with them or other tank mates (2 pajama cardinals, McKoskers Wrasse, and a Royal gramma) and over the last 2-3 weeks the female clown has been attacking the male. The male looks beat up with nipped fins and white lips and just looks ragged. He is now hiding in my rock work (small cave where female can’t get him and she hovers outside the entrance). She then chases him around the tank aggressively whenever he decides to come out. Not the “normal” domination/vibrating/twitching - seems like full blown aggression.
No other issues with any of the other tank mates, she just goes after him. Any ideas what could’ve caused this?
