I got myself two very healthy Ocellaris clowfishes about three weeks ago. They have been stellar with each other, swimming around, peacful, happy.
All of the sudden, about two days ago, they are ALL over each other. The larger fish (female, I am assuming) is constantly (and I mean, after hours of watching, they don't stop for longer than a minute) chasing the poor smaller fish (male, again, assuming). The smaller fish now is getting a ragged back fin.
I've been on the hunt for a Ritteri Anemone for these fish for a while, but the LFS I get them from always sells out of them within a day, and they (rumor has it) don't ship so well.
Would an anemone help lessen the agression? Are they trying to mate? Are they fighting? How long can the little fishie last before he gets too stressed?
Thank you, in advance, for any replies
