When can Clownfish begin breeding?

Hi, I just bought a pair of false perculas from my local live fish store. They have never been in the same tank until now. I was wondering... How long does it take for them to establish dominance over one another? One is larger than the other if that even matters. They are both juvenilles. One is a half inch and the other is an inch I would say. I am just curious because I bought them in hopes they would breed. And that bring me to my other question, how long would it take for them to breed once they establish dominance? I just need a best guest estimate
. And the clowns aren't fighting much at all, just a few nips every once in a while. Mostly just doing there little "dance" to one another. Or whatever.

well i think they might still be too small 4 breeding.
when they get mated which could take from a week to a year, if they like each other, it might take them any time between a month till 10 years to breed

every clown is diffrent.
i have had mine for 2 years now and they haven't mated up. but they like each other for sure. they do there little shaking dance for each other.
but anyway sadly my male is very sick and is under some medication. i dont think that he will survive and i am scared that it will pass the disease to the female and other fish.

its very sad.
