Clownfish twitching

[shane reef]

Smaller clownfish twitching, what does this mean. Are they pairing, bonding, or what?

I believe it means he is showing the female he is willing to submit to her.

Aye. It's submissive behavior. You'll still see it even in mature pairs. But it becomes much, much more subtle. The tiniest turn to the side will calm her down. It's all part of the bonding process.

So this is good, correct? How long before they bond?

[jt_milstead]

Doing the dance....Sounds like they are figuring out who is the female.

And after they bond how long will it take before they spawn of are they still juveniles and need to become adults
