So I've had these 2 young Occ clowns for about 2.5 months now. One became bigger as expected, and then began to bully the other. I figured this was a normal part of sexing. They would kinda fight each other on occasion, and the bigger one would never let the other go anywhere in the tank without first demonstrating its dominance. This has been going on for over a month now.
Now the smaller one has found a cave in the rock work, and will spend all day in there. If it comes out when the lights are on, the big one will dart right for it and force it back in. It'll still come out for feeding, but I had to train them to feed on separate sides of the tank, otherwise the smaller one would not be able to feed.
Surprisingly, the smaller one still seems to be in great health, and doesn't look ragged or anything. But I'm starting to wonder if these two will ever pair, and if I should possibly look into offloading one of them.
