I got 2x Clownfish 6 days ago. Black one is bigger than the orange one and both about 6-7 months old. The LFS owner said they were together for several months prior, so they were buddies and already used to each other. That was the case as well when I introduced them into my tank at first; huddling together and swimming around together while getting settled in. On Day 3, I introduced a PVC cover for them to use as home, which they immediately loved (and hosted?). They both hung out there and slept in there all the time, however, in the last 2-3 days, the black clownfish won’t let the other one inside anymore at all. So the orange one took to the top on the outside to hang out and sleep, however, the black one won’t even let him hang around there either whenever he ventures outside the house. Also, when feeding, the black one doesn’t let the orange one eat as either. Luckily, the black one is always slow to come out of the house, so I’m able to get some pellets in for the orange one beforehand, but after the black one comes out, he will block the orange one from getting any food at all. Even after the black one is full and doesn’t eat anymore.
1) Today I noticed a torn fin (or at least what I think is) and attached the pictures below. Any advice on what to do?
2) I also posted a video from when they first went in to the home and were doing something like a dance or rubbing - Is this hosting?
