clownfish gender

[37g joe]

alright so I have been reading alot on figuring out the gender of clown fishes and I know the female is the biger one and if their are more than 2 clownfishes all the rest well remain juvinels.
Questions?
Alright so does that mean that when a clownfish is born its not gender specfic it only gets its gender when it gets older?
If so does tha mean I can buy two young clown fishes of the same species and one well become male and the other well become female?
you might notice I posted this in the clownfish and anenome forum but did not get any response

Yes, that is how I understand it to work. You will notice the clownfish doing a sort of dance/fighting to determine which one will be female and which will be male at some point. For my clowns this lasted a few days with breaks in between.

This is what I read...all clowns are born males and then the more dominant one will become the female.
