She is making sure the smaller one (he) knows whom is boss. As soon as he submits to her, they will be fine.

Nanokid, make sure they are not two different species of clowns. I had this problem a while back when I had three clowns with two being false percs (not much black) and one true perc. (alot of black)
The male false perc chased the true perc all over the tank for hours on end. I came on here and asked a few questions and found out the two won't get along so I took the true perc out and gave him to the LFS to put into the display tank where he still is today.
Hope this helps,
Joe

That is entirely up to them. Just like you meeting new freinds....it takes time to trust them or let them into your home.

Watched the vid, cool tank. Looks to me that they are getting along fine. They both look like your regular ole false percs to me.
Good luck with them,
