i have a 14 gallon nano tank with 2 black clowns and 2 azure damzels. i had a firefish goby but he died. the 2 clowns since the goby died have been fighting. the smaller of the 2 clowns is being chased and harassed by the larger of the 2. all of his fins are frayed and he looks like a mess. sometimes wen the little one hides the big one will go up an go on his side and start twitching. any reasons why this is happening? or any suggestions to try and stop this?

Usually clowns will do that until the smaller one submits dominance to the larger..which is now the female....if they get to fighting too bad, you can turn the lights off....I have heard that helps.....they should stop eventually...hopefully the smaller one will not get hurt
but this is normal behavior with clowns
