I have a pair of Ocellaris clownfish that I know were paired when I bought them (early last winter). They have always seemed to get along untill now. The female will hardly leave the male alone she has done some damage to some of his fins (she grabs on for 4-5 seconds and does not let go). I have read that it is normal for the female to go thru some sort of "I am the boss" phase but I just wonder how long it should last and how much damage should she be aloud to do? (All the other things - water chemestry, food, weekly water changes, etc. have remained the same) Any ideas and help would be great! Thanks in advance! :)
