Clownfish pair fighting

[Indeco]

I just brought a pair of true percula from LFS ytd night and this morning I saw the bigger size one start nipping the smaller size.

 

The funny part is, they still swim together despite the fighting.

 

Is this common for a pair as part of the submissive behavior?

yes it is the normal behaviour for clown. 

bigger one is female. smaller one is male.

bigger female will nip at the male to show dominance. 

smaller male will shake his body to show submission to the female.

Ic. But I saw the male fin got a bit torn off. Should I just leave it and let them sort it out or must isolate the female 1st?

if the clownfish are eating, i will leave it and let them be. 

sometimes fish fights and get torn fin, injury in the eye, cuts here and there. for me this is part of nature. 

normally i just let them be and monitor. unless the fish is getting bullied until it is hiding for days and not eating then only i will intervene.

Oh ok, then I will observe further.

Thx for the advice bro.
