Clownfish Fighting and Tail Nipped!!!

[MetaKnight101]

So recently my bigger clownish has becoming more and more aggressive to the smaller clownish. They are Mocha Gladiator Clown fishes. I bought them as a supposedly juvenile. They never fighted each other till now. It was usually nips and small fights last week when it started but now the dominant one had ripped a chunk of the tail from the small guy! :( The bigger one is about 35% bigger than the small guy so I suppose the small one is about 1 1/3 inch and the bigger one is about 2 inches there pretty noticeably different sizes. Will they ever stop fighting and pair up?!

It sounds to me like they already have if 1 has become 35 percent bigger than the other. May hear wedding bells before to long, LOL!!!

Good luck. That happened to my ocelaris clowns. She was relentless until she stressed him to death. She's happy with her new mate.
