Hey all,

I got a new pair of clown fish 1 black and 1 white. They have been swimming like this for a while and I'm wondering if this an indication that the white one is being submissive? Also, the black one periodically pecks / bites the white clown but the white clown just moves away and swims on its side again. Is that normal? I'm worried about the aggression the black one is showing.

The black clown was also aggressively chasing the white one around this morning and pecking it whenever it caught up. Is that playing or a form of aggression?
