I woke up today and discovered that my female was and is still as I write this attacking my male clownfish. They have been great together for 3 years now and I have never had a problem between the two. The female is attacking him really really bad and has bitten off like most of his bottom and back fins. It is really bad and they keep fighting and she is attacking him. She has even grabbed his fin with her moth and dragged him down, it just seems really bad. I am worried she will kill him. I’m not sure if maybe she is pregnant or not? It just seems overly aggressive and he isn’t really submitting. I have a 14 gal bio cube and everything else in the tank is fine. I attached a pic of his chewed up fins

Mine were fine after they decided who is boss. I thought mine was gonna die but I added in extra hiding spots temporarily and they worked it out.
