Ocellaris Behaving Badly/Strange

[sagwala]

Ok, so i've had "a pair" of Ocellaris Clownfish for about 5 months. They were about 1 inch long when bought. They are now about 2 inches in length. I never had a problem with them at all, but recently 1 of them swims away from the other then turns and charges at the other, they "square" up to each nose to nose for a few seconds then have what looks like a little scrap or just swim away from each other, and this happens every 10 seconds or so.

Is one of them maturing or somehing else.

Please help as i really dont want them to kill each other.

Thanks

Right, i just read the FAQ on sexing the clowns and it does seem like there doing this, the only thing is, is that the one who charges the other starts convulsing/shaking once the other turns to meet it. I thought the charging one was the more dominant???? I'm really confused.

Sometimes they can be strange...every fish has its own personality

They should be fine, I wouldn't worry at all unless you start seeing that one of the fish is being injured.
