vibrating CLOWN?

[clownrico]

ive had my two perc clowns for about 4 months, they are always together all over each other in the tank, and im thinkin they are a pair but not so sure what justifies a pair of clowns but my question is one of them is always vibrating his body towards the other one and turning on its side.. what is it doing??? i kno the basics on clowns but not how they interact so if anyone can give me a bunch of advice about them.. their also young kinda small so when do they breed if they breed...?? tell me something.. thanks so much

I believe this means they are establishing which one is dominant.

I agree with Alyssia. It's normal.

they are most likely just making sure they know who the boss is....look into getting a book by joyce wilkerson called clownfishes, she has a ton of great info for you.

the smaller one is the one that vibrates he couldnt be the dom one,. the bigger one nips him around some so? i dunno

yea, the smaller one is most likely not dominant, however...they still may doa bit of bickering anyways.
