Clownfish Mating? Fighting?

[ARTindall]

I got two clownfish from the pet store and introduced them to each other, both were in tanks with other clownfish of different species. I brought them home and at night they go to the corner and kinda dance around each other. They Bob and weave around and hit each other with there tails. One is a 1.5 in snowflake and the other a 1 inch ocellaris black clown

This is after I turn off the lights. At night but when I turn the. On the swim in a different direction bust still do the same type of thing.

Clownfish do that all the time. Eventually one of them will be a male and the other a female. Right now, they don't know what they are as they are young. Clownfish can live into their 40s, (I have a pair in their 30s)

Anyway it is normal so don't worry about it. Eventually, if they are fed correctly and are mature enough, they will spawn every couple of weeks.

Yep, what Paul said. All normal behavior establishing hierarchy.
