Hey guys, so I have a question about my clownfish. I have a total of 7 clowns in my tank that miraculously survived a crash a few weeks ago, that wiped out all my other fish. There are 5 false perculas and 2 saddleback clowns. Now my question is about the saddlebacks. One of them is huge, probably 4-5" and super fat and he just hangs out in my neon green haddoni in the center of the tank and the other is probably 1-2" smaller than it and it hangs out on the right side of the tank. The big one seems to hate the little one, always chases it back to it side if it ever comes near the center but now tonight I saw the little one trying to sleep in the anemone with the bigger one. Now my question is, if they're starting to sleep together with minimal aggression can I see that as a sign that they're possibly becoming a mated pair? I know that just because they're sleeping together doesn't necessarily mean they are 'together' :tongue1:

That most likely means that the smaller clown gave up and became sumbissive and allowed the other clown to be the dominate female, soon enough they will not leave each others side! Good luck!
