Hi I have a marroon lightening clown and she follows me and shakes /dances at me - chases other fish off when I go near tank
What does this mean? She doesn’t bother with mate

It's a dominance thing

Welcome to the R2R family! Sounds about right. Mine do the same. It’s usually because she thinks it’s feeding time and doesn’t want to share
