<span style="font-family: Georgia;">I have a mated pair of Maroon Clown Fish. The female is large and the male is much smaller. Anyway not long after ( Month ago ) after I put the two Clown Fish in the tank the female started digging large holes in the sand stirring it up and making it so cloudy you can hardly see much and causing all the floating particulate to settle over everything. Not all the time.</span>

<span style="font-family: Georgia;">I just put a large Seabea Anemone in the tank. The small male went nuts over it and hosted almost immediately. The female seemed to become enraged and started pushing things over and when we would put things back she would stir up the bottom look at me go right up to what I just moved and push it down. She even went over the Seabea like she was telling the male to follow her and they both went to knocking stuff down. She will swim close to the Seabea but will not get in. The male on the other hand appears to be in love.</span>

<span style="font-family: Georgia;">That said my question. Do clown fish get jealous? Do the females have PMS because this one is having a PMS moment. :eek: Thanks.</span>

Maroon females are notoriously insane! I have a mated pair...she's around 4 inches long (14 years old) and goes nuts whenever I'm in the tank. She bites my hand...she digs, just about anything until I leave. After that, she's happy.

When I'm moving things around she is ok. The small male however is very aggressive toward me. He has nailed me several times. Today is the first time she has started pushing things off ledges.
