My 2 ocellaris clowns introduced to a new tank at the same time about 3 months ago. Larger one is all the sudden being extremely aggressive. I know this aggression is super normal but at what point do I intervene and remove the aggressor. This has been going on for about a week now and sometimes I find the smaller fish pinned sideways in a corner and think it’s dead. Then it swims away when I put my hand in the tank.

See attached video I captured today of the ongoing behavior.

Thanks.

I have a Picasso clown fish for quite a long time and I recently bought a chocolate moca clown fish and when I put it together with Picasso he started attacking him to the point that you could see them bite each other. I separate the chocolate one on a breeder box and I wanted to know if this will go away or I have to return the chocolate mica clown.
