I have a female black storm that is a bully towards her ‘paired male’. Only thing is I don’t think they’re actually paired since she bullies him so much. I separated them in different tanks 3 times to see if she would become more passive but now I’m thinking she’s just the way she is by now. I had to remove the male and isolate him inside my nem box so that she doesn’t kill him. Any luck finding a male for my female... since she’s so aggressive already?

How big is she?
If not fully grown you can put her with a larger clown and she should become the male and calm down.

She’s about 2in. Didn’t know she could turn back into a male. It’s gonna be hard finding a larger clown

Females will continually bully the male. That’s both my advice for clownfish and life haha! I had a mated pair of four years. The male eventually ended upon the wood floors. Female mated clowns are jerks and will let everyone know.

What will you do the male clown you separated

I don’t think he’s complaining.
