Very Aggressive clown

[Ryanrttu]

I got a pair on clowns in my tank (the only fish in there at the moment) and the bigger clown will not leave the smaller one alone, really going after him BAD. What should I do??

Were they paired up before you got them. You can shut the light of If you just put them in. Have you ever seen how the female makes the male submit?

Yea I bought them paired (by live aquaria), had them for two days and no I haven't seen how female makes a male submit....which the female is the one picking on the male here so what does that mean and what should I do?

Put on some slow jazz, light a few candles, bring out a bottle of wine and give them some privacy

^^ ha ha

is the big one attacking it or claiming dominance? you will know if it's just showing dominance or if it is out for blood.

the little one should be turning on it's side and start shaking. its like having a seizure. this is a sign of submitting to the big one. that is perfectly normal and what is supposed to happen.

no worries. let them do their thing and they will be alright.

Keep an eye on the male for signs of injury. If he is getting hurt as opposed to harassed, you might consider moving him to a breeder box.

How are your clowns doing? Did you decide if they were pairing or was it bloodsport?
