clownfish

[hunt]

will an orange and a black false percula clown mate, how long can this take to happen, ive had the orange one for about a year and the black one for about a half a year. Since i had the orange one first for 6 months could it have been a male, and will the smaller black one be female?

Hello???

 

[deadly_legend]

they can pair up and mate, and whichever is larger is the female, since they are the dominiant ones. and i have no idea how long it could take, all depends on the clowns

I think its pretty tough to do. Do you have any other fish in the tank? Cause if so, they prolly wont.

Yeah, i have a six line wrass(peaceful) and a valentini puffer. Im honestly not going to try to mate them because after reading up on breeding them, i decided not to because it would cost me upwards of $100.

Since they are both Ocellaris Clownfish they will certainly bond and will probably mate. The larger Clownfish is usually the female.

yeh, ive got a pair, one is b/w and the other is a true perc, they have spawned on me but became fish food, they can spawn with their own time, might be in a week, might be in a year, they might not ever mate. but yehh.

well i think theyve bonded, they sleep right next to eachother at the top of the back wall near my heater. they swim around with eachother to.

I like the clowns, and with yours being different it would be interesting to see how they turn out. Keep me posted. Do you know anything about the picasso clowns?

The larger of the two will become the female. The smaller the male. Any juveniles would remain nutureal.
