Hey guys ive had a pair of O's clowns for well over 2 years now.
I was told when i got them they were roughly a year old and have pretty much been together for some time before I got them. So a guestimation of about 3 years old or round about that. They fought for a little bit about a year ago but nothing too bad.
The female got a good size larger than the male which i know is normal.
They have always swam together and gotten along. For the past year off and on I have noticed the little twiching dances sometimes the female does it a lot of times the male does it.
Then for the longest time they just swam around the tank and showed no type of intrest with each other until the last few days.
They have been fighting a lot, i noticed tonight when I got home the male looked roughed up a little bit nothing as bad as i have seen before but enough for me to be concerned.
I observed them and the female kept nipping then twiching and chasing around the male. The male is being submissive but the female seems to just keeping attacking non the less.
I understand this is normal in a new pair that is fighting for territory or when they are trying to decide for the role of who is going to be female but i found it odd for a pair who has been together 3 years to all of the suddon start fighting.
Should I seperate them or put the male in a breeder net?
