Hey everyone,
I noticed earlier after i fed my clowns that one began to shack really quick for maybe half a second. I'm wondering is this some kind of mating dance or sex changing dance? or possibly something bad? :( It's random sometimes it does it every few minutes some times every few seconds.

Thanks,

~Nick

If it does it around the other clownfish it's just a sign of submission and perfectly normal. They'll do this every now and then, nothing to be worried about.

Ok thanks,
So i'm guessing that means i have a pair. :D Is this something pairs do or is it some kind of mating ritual?

The female (bigger one) likes to show dominance and the male (smaller one) will submit to her by going by her and shaking like he's having a seizure.

So that would explain why it happens at feeding time..

Thank you
