ocellaris pairing question

[WarDaddy]

I hae a pair of juvinile ocellaris clowns, they are about 5 months old. The two are in a 15 gallon cube with an RBTA.

One has claimed the RBTA as "hers" and works pretty hard to keep the other out. They get into some pretty long battles, swimming fast in tight circles, quick darts acoss the cube...

How long does the dominance battle last before the female takes control and begins to grow into her donimate stature?

are they they same size... or is the girl bigger?

 

[WarDaddy]

There is a very slight size difference... they were born at the same time. Both are same sex at this point... one needs to become dominate to determine who rules the tank as the female, correct?

I am currious how long that takes.

yah but one should be quite bigger. if there about the same size, they both might always fight for dominance, you'll prob have to sell one off then get a notacibly smaller one in size.
