Clownfish Fighting

[EvanDeVita]

Hi, so my clownfish have been bickering which is expected because they are still juveniles and one is trying to assert its dominance. Today, however, I noticed this mark on my clown. Is this something I should be worried about? If so, should I separate the clowns? I have a breeder box I can use. Should I put the mean clown or the other one into the box?

I don't see any marks, its part of the process. If you break them up they will never become male/female and become a pair.

I've had mine for years, still can't put my hand in the tank without a glove because the female will bite me. The male is peaceful. I bought scuba gloves thinking they would work, she then bit my arm so I need to use the long full arm gloves if I need to really reach in far.

Haha I know how nuts they are. Did you see the marking above it’s pectoral fin?

Oh ok, I thought that was a shadow. If its still eating and all I would leave it and let them do their thing.
