Clowns are fighting bad..

[cluelessclown22]

My two DaVinci clownfish are having a big fight. Have had them both together for about 2 months. There is a smaller one and a bigger one. Bigger one being about an 1.5 inches. They have been doing well, having little tiffs here and there but they sleep together and swim together daily. They both shake submissiviely at each other but strangely the larger one shakes more than the smaller one.

Now my smaller one is hiding in my colt leather and the bigger one sits outside it waiting to attack the smaller one. Should I be worried or are they just sexing it out?

This is our first time having two clowns. Last time we had a tank 6 years ago we only had one clown.

Need some advice...

I assume they do not have an anemone?

You may need to get them a place to "host" like a pot they use in propigation teqniques.

Look at clown breeding tanks as well. They use a flower pot. It's a territory thing I believe.

So you think since she doesn't have a home to protect she is taking all the aggression out on him? My colt coral is not happy anymore that he is hiding in there. All the Polyps are in...

Do you have a suggestion on the anemone? I don't think I can fit a clay pot in my tank.
