pineomt Posted December 12, 2004 Share Posted December 12, 2004 I have 2 clowns that have been in the same tank together their whole lives (tank raised). Recently the larger one is showing some agression to the smaller one, however they still swim right next to each other at all times, and despite the larger one nipping at the small one, no frayed fins. After the larger one nips, the small one does a really funny "dance" where it swims really fast, but he doesnt go anywhere, really weird... should i be worried? Or are they simply astablishing a pecking order? Link to comment
cadesun Posted December 12, 2004 Share Posted December 12, 2004 mating behavior. those are going to be some inbred babies. Link to comment

obarrera Posted December 13, 2004 Share Posted December 13, 2004 I used to worry about that when I had my clowns. But it's normal. Link to comment
cadesun Posted December 13, 2004 Share Posted December 13, 2004 inbreeding is ok to a point. more inbreeding will result in more larval mortality, but higher odds of mis-barred offspring, which generally fetch a higher price around here. Link to comment
