Well I just introduced a second clownfish to my 10 gallon. I've read all the breeding guides ect, but i'm just curious if anything shown in the video reflects any type or mating. I've heard of a submissive dance ect. The weird stuff starts at 1:20. The lighter colored one will float nose up when the darker comes near it. The darker one's confining the other one to a side of the tank.

P.S. Sorry about crappy phone quality.

It just looked to me like the new fish (head in corner) is just not challenging the original fish who was demonstrating her dominance. It looked more like it was trying to get away more then any kind of mating / submissive ritual.
