I have had two clown fish for almost a year now. They have gotten along very well, over the past two weeks I’ve noticed my orange one grow bigger, become more aggressive and my black one (the smaller one) has pieces of his fins missing. Should I move him to my other tank or will this stop.
 
Bigger one is pry taking the female role and establishing dominance. Happened with mine. They’re paired and fine now. If you notice attacks getting bad then I would separate.
 
What’s bad they swim up to each other and shake and u can see the orange one coming up to his fins I can’t tell if he’s biting or not. This is my first tank so I’m learning!
 
Is the black one still swimming near the other or being chased and staying away? Also the twitching is just showing submission to the female

They still swim together hell go up to the orange one and hang out. His back fin doesn’t look good but this has happened quite fast over past few days I’m just concerned. Could it be fin rot my coworker just mentioned it but she doesn’t fresh water
