pink skunk clowns

[lord fu fu]

yesterday i bought two pink skunk clownfish and today they are eating and happily swimming right near/in the fake carpet anemone i bought them... in the tank i bought them from they seemed to be huddled right next to eachother and i was hoping they were a pair. Does anyone have any experience with these clowns in breeding or even just raising? if so please respond, all advice is welcome.

How big are they??
I'm no expert, but if they are small, they are probably just freinds right now. Eventually, one will become(female), get larger. She will then become aggressive towards the male. Assuming he survives this, they should eventually become a pair.
Not really sure about this whole process, but from what I have been learning, I think this is pretty much the deal. My female is starting to dominate my male and I am hoping all goes well. I have true percs., not skunks, but the process should be the same.
Someone will probably come on here and say I'm totally wrong.

They'll probably be right. lol

today before i turned off the light and a little after i noticed my slightly larger clown chasing around the slightly smaller one quite a bit. is this them establishing order in the new tank? if so, when the process is over may they breed? i have a video posted above of them...they are about 1"-1.5" each please respond

I imagine they are just establishing position. They are very small, I would not think they will mate for some time. (if they do) I think they have some growing up to do. Maybe someone more knowledgeable will chime in.

Keep an eye out, cause I know nothing. Thought mine were still establishing dominance. Noticed a orange spot below the anemone yesterday. Thought it was just some corraline as I have it in many colors.
Well, today I took a closer look!

It's eggs!!

I'm very excited, but totally freakin' out.

I guess what I'm saying is: be ready!! You never know when it will happen!!

 

[lord fu fu]

wow cool!!! you are lucky!

i am so excited now! i know i shouldnt be but i cant help it

i am hoping that laying eggs will be somewhere near in the future

Yeah, it's cool! But I am not ready at all to raise the fry. Maybe I can get ready in time. If not, I will have to hope for another batch. Good luck to you. Hope you get some soon!
