Ocellaris hates me! Help me

Ok, about 2 months ago I bought 2 juvenile ocellaris, a nemo and a black one, the black one is bigger, but the orange one is the angry one. Everytime that I introduce my hands iin the tank, he bites me and I know thats a thing with clowns. My doubts are:
1. The agressions wasn't supposed to come of the biggest one(the female)? (Im not sure if I already have a female yet, they just too young).
2. When I know for sure that they just bonded and became a pair? (I dont think it has happened yet).
3. Is it going to be hard to introduce new fishes? Am I going to have problems? Im intending to introduce 4 more fishes, none of them are damsels.

Help me, please!
I have six in a 60 cube. That's normal. I started with 7. One jumped and the others tried to kill each other for about 4 months. Now they're good. Rarely do they squabble. As far as attacking you, call it ignorance. In time they'll know "Not to bite the hand that feeds them" They fight among themselves for the most part. Never seen mine go after other fish.
 
Hahahah
Its generally the female who is the aggressor and will bite the hand that feeds them. They will often aggressively protect their "home", whether that be an anemone, a nesting site, a clay pot or the entire fish tank. If it attacks your hand when you're trying to clean the glass or it won't let any other fish near its spot, you most likely have a female clownfish.
Yeah, thats another thing, the smaller one is the one that attacks me, I was expecting to be the biggest (female), maybe they r both male yet.

Good likelihood
 
My five or six year old female will not let me put my hand in the tank without constant attacks haha. The nem has been splitting for years now and I have way too many. She thinks they are all hers.
