I’m not sure how this website works considering I signed up for it just to ask these few questions. I’ve had my salt water tank running for a year and a half. When I was first introducing fish to it I got two Ocellaris clowns, two Chromis and a watchman/pistol shrimp pair. They’ve all been doing fine up until recently my female clown died. Soon after (maybe 2 days) we went to our local pet store and got another clown. I will admit I messed up and got one that was slightly bigger than than one I have but they are roughly the same size. They do fine and she enjoys swimming around and she’s quite happy and so is our male. The only issue is he wants to pair pretty bad with her (ex: twitching, following her around, not leaving her side) but she seems either not interested or annoyed. We put her in a breeder box still in the tank and away from him over night and when we released her she finally started to fight back and tell him to back up, nothing too serious. My male is a fancy Ocellaris and she is a Picasso Ocellaris so them both being Ocellaris shouldn’t be the issue. Is it possible she just isn’t into him? They rarely fight he mostly just twitches to her. Is there something I should be doing different?
