I have 2 false percula clowns that I picked up about 4 months ago. Ones about 2.5in. the other one is about 1.75in.-2in. The smaller one sometimes goes up to the bigger one (Im guessing is the female) and starts twitching and rubbing against the side of her. they usually doent leave eachothers side, they even sleep in the top corner of the tank.
Whats the next thing I should expect them to do like are there any mating rituals, behaviours, ect...)
thanks,
Jake

These are bonding rituals. A step in the right direction for sure. If you see the female rubbing vigorously on a rock with her bottom side, then she is cleaning the rock for laying eggs. If you notice the male absent for periods of time and then reappearing, he may be guarding some hidden eggs.
