frayed fins!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

jubbers · 07-24-2007, 05:08 PM

the smaller ocellaris has frayed fins from the larger (possible female)is this part of the female showing dominance plus the larger one has been darting at the small one.the large one shakes after darting and the small one turns to the side and some times swims off and hides in the barnacle. is this normal? will they breed? i seperated the two. the small one shows no sign of stress and eats regualrly. will they become a pair as they mature.

Yes, that is normal. The frayed fins should heal in several days. As long as the little guy can seek refuge it should be heal okay. If the larger clown is shaking/dancing at the smaller one, then it accepts it. They just need to figure out who the boss will be

Keep an eye on them and make sure the little one can at least hide. Make sure the water parameters(temp,ph,salinity,etc) are on target so they aren't stressed.
