Clownfish Behavior

Are my Clownfish pairing? because it seems the smaller one is the only doing the ritual dance.

The clown doing the dance is showing that is it submissive to the other clown. I have a pair of clowns and the smaller one always "dances" for the other. When I first got them they were the same size and once one of them becomes the dominant of the two that one will become the female and she will get bigger in size than the male. My female is an inch bigger than the male now.

Gotcha, yeah it seems the smaller one has it figured out but the bigger one doesn’t. Just have to wait I guess.
