Anyone have any advice for clownfish asserting dominace over the other. The smaller one is constantly running away and even hitting the objects in the tank, should I just leave them or separate? This is the smaller one after the fight..

Two different designer clownfish? I tried to pair a Wyoming white clown and a regular plain snowflake, snowflake was bigger so obviously that’s the female, but wwhite would do the clownfish dance/stun to give the signals but the snowflake would turn it down and instead nip but not nip and attack the one who started the dance

They are both black storm clownfish, actually paired together in the store

One is bigger and more agressive

Yeah that’s really odd. Maybe cause just a bare tank for now. I’m sure once you get more fish that are Utilitarian fish. That are not just for Show. they play their part in the reef. I’m sure once the tank is busy they won’t mind each other

I separated them, they are fine now but yeah I had also a problem with a regular clown with a mocha darker orange and the mocha died I was surprised how fast the regular clown killed it

Yeah, they were acting normally and now are not good together anymore, I guess I’ll see if sometnig gonna change and then separate them
