my new pair of clown fish...

[arman]

I have bought a new pair of clowfishes to reproduce them
One of them is black photon the other is a percula
Its about one week they are living with each other but still the bigger one is very aggressive to the smaller
I wanted to know if this is normal or not

Will they get paired to lay eggs or not???????

 

[KJ]

Yes this is normal for clownfish Bigger its female and the small its male.

Sounds pretty normal female is a bully to the male and he has to submit before they pair up. Don't let her beat him up to bad. Even after pairing she will bully him at times. Also because they pair up don't guaranty they'll spawn conditions have to be stable and happy.

 

[arman]

would you mention some of those conditions

 

[KJ]

Buy book Writing bay Joyce D Wilkerson Clownfishes. A Guide to their captive care Breeding and Natural History. Great book .

 

[reefnfeef]

they'll need lots of food to promote spawning
