Hi. My clownfish looks like its trying to be submissive to my firefish. I recorded it. It tries to go to its side as if he was trying to be submissive to a female clownfish. Has anyone seen this type of behaviour before to another species of fish? I worry cause I dont want him to be agressive and why I dont have a paired clownfish. He has been agressive in the past but only because he was being territotial to new fish. I setup a whole new tank and added him last and actually kept him in the sump over a 3 month period. Any input would be appreciated.

FYi he was added to the tank about 3 days ago.
