    Think My Clownfish are fighting!!!!!!

    Is it possible that two of my clowns could be fighting? Well, I think the bigger one is bullying the smaller one. I got them at the same time, like 3 months ago, and never seen them do that before. The one will start swimming really fast towards the second one and sort of ram in in the side from...
