in my 14 gallon bio cube that I have had for over 3 years, with the ocellaris clowns who have lived together for 3 years in peace. However lately they have been severely attacking eachother. The female has bitten off almost all of the males back take and a lot of his fins. It is really bad and she will even grab onto him and start dragging him around. I originally thought she was pregnant or trying to mate, however I find it odd that whoever I turn the light off they start fighting and the second I turn it on, they stop. All water paremegers and stuff is fine. The females stomach appears to be bigger and earlier she had this long brown tube sticking out of her that eventually came out, not sure what that was.... anyways my theory is that she is pregnant and therefore extremely territorial, so when I turn the lights to a lower setting she doesn’t recognize the male and attacks. It’s just gotten so bad I’m worried he will be killed by her. Please any and al advice or insight!!! Thanks so much! I also attached a pic of how badly she has been biting his tale.
