Crumb Posted April 6, 2005 Share Posted April 6, 2005 I bought 2 juvinile clowns for my tank. The person at the LFS I bought them from said becuase the clowns are so young, they don't actually have a sex yet. She said if I were to get one a bit larger than the other that one would become male and the other female. She also said that during this time, while they grew into their sexes, they would fight a bit. But, mine are nipping at each other so much that the smaller one is getting a beat up tail fin. The small ones black line also seem to be lighter then the black on the bigger one. Is this all normal? Link to comment
lgreen Posted April 23, 2005 Share Posted April 23, 2005 well, last time i checked, fish don't have sex. they do infact spawn, and yes when they are mature. actually, the larger one becomes the female, and the smaller one the male. they should start to settle down eventually. probably just refreshing their dominance issue.

lgreen Posted April 23, 2005 Share Posted April 23, 2005 is there are fairly significant size diff? Link to comment
chrissreef Posted April 23, 2005 Share Posted April 23, 2005 both are probably male (clowns are born male, they aren't born without a sex). They are defining their dominance and should stop fighting if they're the same species. Give them a day or two and PM me if you're still having issues. Link to comment
