What Are The Chances

[kaingers]

I have a one year old tomato clown that is about 2 inches long. The other tank mates include a sixline wrase and a coral beauty. I wanted to try and mate the tomato with another tomato clown, but not sure if my plan will work. I was going to take the sixline out and add a smaller tomato leaving the coral beauty and the older tomato in the tank with the smaller tomato.
My questions are will this work?
What are the chances the clowns will mate?
Has anyone done this and had success?

1) Yes, very possible if youre able to find a small male.
2) I dunno but I guess that if they pair, they will eventually spawn. Mine spawned within 3-4 months
3) yes
