Ok so I have two BW Ocellaris clowns. They are different sizes like suggested when buying two. They were cool together for a couple days but then started fighting. The fighting intensified and intensified. I read up on them and read that when pairing they will fight and to show submission will have epileptic seizure type things which both of them would do so I thought no big deal. Today though I get home and the smaller one is in the corner between the glass and my filter intake straight up and down. I notice he has small rips in some of his fins. The bigger one still hangs around him and attacks occasionally. Do I have two females or is the pairing process just peaking. Any advice would be appreciated.

Hmmm.....I am curious about this too.....I am going through the same thing. The smaller of my two clowns has shreadded fins all along his bottom half. I have seen the two clowns playing and doing the normal "seizure" move, but I haven't seen the smaller clown actually be attacked.

I really hope he recovers, right now I am very worried that the stress will bring on an ich attack.

Well I put them in my 70 gallon and so far no fighting. Well see how it goes.
