Clownfish pairing signs

What are some signs my clownfish are pairing?
Basically they hang out a lot together and one doesn’t kill the other.

One will push the other around a bit. This is normal and part of them working out which will be the female.
 
The female will shake and the male will return the shaking. The female will drive the male away when food is introduced. That’s why males remain smaller.
 
The smaller one will look like its having a seizure next to the female and usually show the bigger clown its belly
 
Mine showed no signs at all the female barely noticed him and now all she does is gently nudge him when he wanders too far from the anemones for some reason.
