bangguy do u know?

Is the fish with other clowns? Male and female will clear spots on the tank so thats not an indicator. If there are two or more clowns in a tank the most dominant one will be the female.

no im buying a clown and i think its a female already and i already got a female in my tank?

 

[mr_bill]

You could do this then...
Make sure the second clown you buy is alot smaller than the one in your tank now. By alot, I mean about half the size and not more than 3/4th of the size.

 

[clown123]

yea but i think the one in my lfs is already a female and the one in my tank is def a female
.

They switch ---.... the bigger becomes the female... after time if it does or whatnot the male can switch and become female... you should deff buy a smaller one... but either way I think they work out the ---

I already posted on that other thread you have, but to add to my post..... I smaller clown should be added with the clown you have now. 1/2 the size of your clown should work out nice. What your doing is setting up the new comer for a fall in rank so to avoid over stressing him/her I would look for a smaller clown in a tank at the LFS who is NOT the dominant fish. A dominant fish being thrown into new surrounding with even more dominant larger fish adds alot of stress to the already stressful situation. IMO
