I had a lone ocellaris clown fish in my tank for about a year before getting a second clown to pair with it. The new clown I got was significantly smaller, about 1/3 the size of my existing clown. They seemed to pair up almost immediately with only some minimal aggression in the first day or two. They are always swimming together, and seem to prefer hosting my wave maker together instead of the anemone, which is fine. It's been about 5 months and everything has been great, until this week.
I've noticed the larger clown getting a lot more aggressive to the smaller clown (who has now grown to about half the size of the larger one). The larger one will chase the smaller one away from their spot by the wave maker, and the smaller one has been sulking in the corner by itself. Is this normal? Could they just be figuring out their genders now?
Any advice would be welcome!
