Clown nipping

[rraines]

I’ve had my clowns for 4 days now the bigger one who I believe will become female has nipped at the smaller one’s fins. She did it the first night and his fins were finally starting to heel. They actually slept together two nights ago. This morning I woke up and there was another nip on the smaller ones other fin?? Any advice is appreciated!

You can place the smaller fish in a clear trap box, or quarantine box, set close to the larger fish for a few days.
But, aggression is inevitable and some nipping will occur.
At this point, you may want to let it run its course.
If it doesn’t stop, or gets worse, you may need to change the bonding partner to one closer to 1/3rd the size of the larger fish.
