Clown on clown aggression

[TyWynn]

So I've had my two clowns in my tank for about a month or so with no issues. Both clowns are pretty small, but I did buy them so one is significantly larger than the other.

Anyways, the larger one is really aggressive towards the smaller one. Just curious if this behavior is normal.

Does the smaller one submit to the other after being chased?

Mine were aggressive, but when the other one submitted it wasn't as aggressive and now they snuggle. My clowns are Mai Tai clowns so yours may be different.

Sounds like normal behavior. Mine did the same thing when the larger became female and acted aggressively towards the smaller male. Now they are a breeding pair.

Just look out for the smaller one to kinda lay on it's side and shake that's it showing it's submissive.
