Clownfish bullying other clownfish

[Timich]

My clownfish is bullying my other clownfish. He or she is larger and ramming into my smaller clownfish. they were fine at first. Both introduced into the tank at the same time. I see nips on the tail fin now. What do I do? Is this normal? They are black ice snowflakes.

How long have you had them? They will sometimes fight to establish dominance, as the alpha will turn female.

What i did to stop the bullying was to put the aggressive one into a breeding net for a week. Changing up the rock structure also works.

Female usuallly larger and sometimes things get rough.
If it’s just hear and there chase, just watch.
If it’s sustained attack, biting, or pulling around by the mouth., separate them.

As long as there no ripped fins then just let them figure it out.
