Breeding or Fighting?

[nitr8]

Here's a video of my clowns acting strange. Are they getting ready to breed or just fighting? This went on for hours last night and they are acting really strange again tonight.

1. Not a clown expert (or fish expert)
2. Had tomato clown pair in past. The girl was much larger than the boy.
3. Behavior seemed to me to be more aggression then foreplay.
4. I've read sometimes the male will nip the girls underbelly but I don't think that is what clown fish do. They were both nipping so seems hostile.

5. Hope someone more experienced chimes in for you.

This looks like agressive behavior to me. Not pairing.

I say breeding no one was driving the other one away, seemed like the couldn't get enough of each other.

Well by now the OP should be able to answer this question. Do you have eggs or a beat up clown?
