Clown pair aggression

[Hrosik123]

Hi all,
I have a pair of ocellaris clowns that I purchased together and have been in my tank for about 3+ months with no issues. Now it seems one is pushing its weight around. No fin nipping but total domination.
Both are about 2 inches long so my question is one starting to turn female?

Sure sounds like it. Pretty typical that one starts to try the other who’s boss. Only instance you don’t see this is when there’s a huge size differential and then they kind of just fall into the roles without the aggression most of the time. The non dominant fish will eventually do a little submission dance which is cool to watch.
