So I have had these 2 clownfish for 3 years now, I got them both at the same time when they were younger, it seemed for a while that one was more dominant than the other but today I watched them fighting, they have been fighting all morning, also, about a year ago I added a third, much smaller clownfish that I rescued from a tank that my friend didnt want any more, that clownfish is kinda staying impartial to all of the fighting between the other two, Im thinking about taking one of the two bigger ones out and taking him back to my LFS, but I am also thinking that they are just establishing dominance and maybe I should leave them both in the tank, any advice is greatly appreciated, thank you.
My clownfish are fighting, please help!

I'd get prepared to remove one if things don't get better. How big is the tank? Anything other than 1 or 2 is normally not a good number when it comes to clowns unless they are all juveniles...

I had a mated pair of perculas fight after 9 years of spawning, the female was so ruthless the male died several days later from a secondary infection. I would separate them for a few days to a week and then reintroduce. Also make sure your water conditions (pH, temp, salinity) are acceptable and I would find a home for the odd clown.
