My first 2 fish ever are a couple of mocha clowns. They’ve been in a 10 gallon cycled QT tank for 2 weeks, and I’ve been observing them for any unusual behaviour. The problem is everything they do is unusual! My inexperience makes it difficult to differentiate between an actual issue or normal glitch-in-the-matrix behaviour…

(First video post, I hope it works!)

The video doesn’t show. Posting a YouTube link is good.
 
Looks to me like establishing dominance
 
mine do that all the time. I have one that’s larger than the other. I assume that is now the female of the pair? But the smaller of the two still displays the behaviour in your video.
