Do you think my clowns will pair?


about 2 weeks ago i bought a pair of ocellaris clowns (i dont really knowif they were a "pair" at the store, they had about 20 of hem in one tank) trying making sure there was a size diffrence (though unfortunatly not much of a size difference because they were all relatively the same size). when i first introduced them my gramma was being territorial but i pretty much cured that, at times he still feels the need to chase a fish away though. my problem is though is that the clowns dont seem to want to pair. in fact one clown, the obviously more dominant one, chases the other into a corner. im not posotive, but i think its the dominant clowns fault that the other clown is almost always in the top corner because the gramma isnt to bad, he lets the dominant clown swim around and even though the passive clown has never gotton close to the gramma, i think if he tried that wouldnt be a problem. So, my question is, do you think its my dominant clown that is pushing the other into a coraner? and If so will he stop and do you think there is hope that they will ever be a pair?

If these are youngsters, they will most probably pair up....the dominant one will be the female and the other will be the male. Theirs will always be a master-slave relationship. That's the way of the Clowns!!
