Clownfish pairs will fight to establish the dominant among the pair. I believe the dominant will become the female, with the submissive one the male.

Things can get brutal.

Compounding the problem, it is only a 15 gallon tank. While the tank is small, they will come to settle down in it.

Clownfish are VERY territorial. I wouldn't add any more fish to that tank.

Typical, but may require intervention if things don't settle down. Don't let it get to the point of death.
