I think my Maroon clownfish are going to breed! Help!!

[coral keeper]

Hello everyone, I have had a maroon for more than a year and a half that's about 3 inches, and a few days ago, I went to the LFS and got the smallest maroon I can find which was 3/4 of an inch. I noticed they were having some minor spats. Nipping a bit, the big Maroon badgering the small Maroon to move, and the small maroon in turn placing his body parallel to the big maroon and what looked to be quivering with fear. I then went on the web and started to read tons about breeding clowns. They weren't fighting like tearing each other up and like two large clowns put together that don't get along at all so this was a bit of an inclination that something else was happening. After reading on the web about the quivering and badgering I quickly came to the conclusion that they were looking for a place to lay eggs. The big maroon(female) starts to dig in the sand under a cave near her xenia rock. The hole shes making looks exactly like a birds nest, but its just made out of sand. Here is a link to my diary.

i would give the quivering and picking as establishing dominance especially if you JUST got the smaller maroon...the smaller one parallel and "shaking" in fear is submission

When they both start cleaning a spot on the rocks, or glass, that's when they are looking to start laying eggs. Like stated about , they are just establishing dominance right now.
I recommend getting Joyce Wilkerson's book "Clownfishes". Great info in it.
