peppermint22 Posted October 13, 2003 Share Posted October 13, 2003 Is it true that any juvenile clownfish kept singly will eventually turn into a female? Link to comment
mattie Posted October 13, 2003 Share Posted October 13, 2003 yes , they usually sex at age or size Link to comment
bgoode Posted October 13, 2003 Share Posted October 13, 2003 Unless there is already a dominant female. In that case it will stay male. Link to comment
peppermint22 Posted October 14, 2003 Author Share Posted October 14, 2003 So, how big do u reckon a tomato clownfish will grow in captivity, assuming that i start with a young one. Link to comment
mattie Posted October 14, 2003 Share Posted October 14, 2003 all young clowns are males and later change sex. except in the case of bgoode's mention which is correct Link to comment
peppermint22 Posted October 14, 2003 Author Share Posted October 14, 2003 I'm still confused over the size of a tomato clown. Some books say 5.5" and others say 3". Perhaps 5.5" is the max. size in the wild whilst 3" is the max. size in an aquarium??? Link to comment
Quash Posted October 14, 2003 Share Posted October 14, 2003 5.5 in wild 3 in captivity. you got it right. i went snorkeling once and saw a clown a damn near half a foot Link to comment
