Smaller clown fish might be having issues

Is your pair still one male, one female?

Unsure what sex either of them are currently. But they should figure it out I hope.

Okay, just keep an eye out. I'm not good at knowing the sex of a fish based off video. They both seem to be ocellaris, but if they are both female, it's possible for them to want to fight to one's death. One of my friends made this mistake... twice.

They’re both ocellaris, one should hopefully transition if they are both female. Hopefully without one dying.

No, they would both have to be males. A female cannot go back to male. WIth two males, one will turn female. If its two females, they either fight to one's death or have enough water, space or anemones to not fight.

Idk how quickly they transition, not even sure if either of them is female or male. Also not sure how to tell.

There is no set time for transitioning. Here is a good article to help https://www.ocellarisclownfish.com/ocellaris-clownfish-male-female/

I’m not sure if either of them are old enough or have been alone long enough to be female but I’ll keep an eye out for aggression (when I’m not sleeping)
