Clown Help

Hey everyone,
So about a week ago my female clown out of the blue beat the crap out the male until he died and now she has been acting kinda wierd. She hasnt been swimming in the open as much and she isnt eating like she used to. Could she be lonely or something. Any advice would be appreciated.

You sure you had a male/female? Sounds like a territorial thing to me due to maturing of the fish.

Well they were both small but she got like 3 times his size while he stayed small and they showed signs of choosing dominance which made me think they were m/f but maybe not.

Also they were paired for close to 5 months.

My two clowns are still young but get along most of the time. I have never really heard of that happen before.
