ocellaris pair

[M2B3J]

first fish was an ocellaris....maybe a month later i bought another smaller ocellaris, not extremely smaller but the one that has been in there longer shows more distinct differences like the black around her body. my question is that the older one shows dominance that looks like aggression but yet she turns on her side and quivers like she is submitting when really it looks as if the smaller one is b/c he hardly enters the anemone while the older one patrols it and host in it. which one is female? and are they showing signs of pairing?

The bigger one is female or will turn into a female . They are having a dominance role play and the dominant one will be female .

 

[M2B3J]

so will they eventually pair?

 

[Dawman]

As long as you didn`t get two females . But if you did one would more likely be dead by now .

Yes , they will more likely pair up .

How long should you wait for what ? For them to pair up ? That depends on the fish as each has different personalities like humans .
