true perculas not getting along?
 
Hello,

I have two true percula clowns in my new 130 gal tank. They were the first to be introduced. One is larger then the other but the larger one seems to be causing trouble for the smaller one.

They used to swim together. They now both stay on the same side of the tank but the larger one stays at the bottom and the small one at the top of the tank which is 30" high. The larger one seems to force the smaller one to the top when it ventures down. They both also rarely venture out of this area, but eat well.

Will this behavior change when more fish are introduced? Should I be concerned?

Has anyone seen similar behavior?

Will they pair up eventually? If so how long might it take for them to get along?

I think the lager one might be the female and is showing dominance over the smaller (male).The lager(female) should give him a break after a week or so i think.Just keep an eye on them you dont want her to bet him to bad.

Its been well over two weeks now and she is still showing dominance. Is this ok? Or should it have stopped by now?
