Hey all,

So I’ve had a pair of ocellaris clowns for about 3 months now, they’re both small (2 inches tops) and they’ve always stuck together. About 2 weeks ago however one started bullying the other relentlessly. I assume this is the bigger one turning to a female and establishing dominance because the other always submits and twitches but it’s not stopping, for the most part the i assume male is at the top corner of the tank now and I have to spot feed him or he won’t eat at all and even when I do that the other comes and nips at him. How much longer should I let this go for before I remove the aggressive one? his fins are always pretty torn up now. attached a quick vid of when it first started
