strange clowns

[JarviZ]

I have a reg ocellaris and a black and white ocellaris. I added the b/w about 2 months after the first clown. The b/w is smaller and they got a long fine for a couple of months and swam around alot.

Lately I've seen the orange one chasing the other one all over the tank and being very aggresive. The orange one than starts twitching and has these seizure attacks.

I did some research and read that this was normal relationship behavior, but every situation has the smaller one that does the twitching (as a sign of submittal).

Has anybody else have the larger clown do all the chasing and then the twtching as well?

She's professing her love for him and trying to seduce him. The twitching is kind of like a mating dance if you want to call it that I think

she is teaching him how to submit properly since he must not be getting it and that results in long chases. if he would just twitch .. the chase would end.

The twitching can also be interpreted as aggression.
