I would like to do the same with mine, I guess there is no way to tell when they are in season, ie. more likely to accept a mate??

There's no season for Maroons. She will beat the #&$^@* out of any Maroon you put in there. If it's a male and survives then there's a good chance they will bond. Unfortunately, with Maroons, the chance of survival before bonding isn't a sure thing.

Doh! Well mine is still pretty small, you think I should get another smaller one before she gets real big and nasty?

Wow!!, not going to try it anytime soon then.
Thanks

what about seasons for ocillaris?

 

[bang guy]

From what I've seen two Ocellaris will bond quickly as long as they aren't both female.

Definetly an Ocellaris.
From what I know, Clowns are rearely female when imported or bred, or at least I have never had any bad luck with them.
Also, Ocellaris's have been documented breeding with Percula's, but the results aren't very impressive.

Tea color like the eyes of your clown, because it's an ocellaris.
Ocellaris are often not labeled accordingly in the fish stores. They're just simply labeled as percula.
