F ocellaris clown

[vincent6396]

I have a pair, the f has been aggressive toward the smaller one the past 2 days (f=about 3in, m=2in). They have been together for 2 months, she attacks him where ever he goes. He shakes at her when she come near but she still attacks him, they were getting along or tolerated each other. Don't seemed to pair up as they don't swim together during the day only sleep together at night but not past 2 nights. What can be wrong, could it be that both are fs?

Too late, just came home and found his dead body underneath a rock. If I get another 1 will she kill him too?

Went out and got a tiny ocellaris about 1/2in and still same thing, little guy looks like he might not make it through the nite. Right now he is in a breeder container, seperated from the f. Anyone know what's wrong w/her? Thinking of trading her in for another pair, this time black and white ocellaris.

Your female sounds too aggressive in her courtship. Maybe you should get a pair that has courted and became a mated pair.

If you're not attached, trade her in. No sense in risking the lives of new clowns trying to get them to pair.
