What to do about fighting fish?

[jonathon0883]

I got two small perc clowns as my first fish about 2 weeks ago and i bought one a bit bigger then the other because i thought for some reason thats what you should do..but now all the do is bite at each other and swim circles trying to nip...now its kinda funny to watch but if its stressing them out then i would much rather have it stop....i figured since they were teh only onces in the tank then they woud be all buddy-buddy with each other

lol so the larger is female? ..it makes so much more sense now that she is kicking the $%^& out of the littler male....relationships of the saltwater world are kinda similar to us in a hypothetical way huh?

whats too tough? i mean they nip at each other a lot but i havent seen any damage...i will keep an eye out though

If you start seeing damage on fins or body and they are still going at it, then that's too much. HTH
