baby clowns

just added two baby clowns to my tank. this may be a dumb question, but ive heard when clowns are babies, they are a-sexual, and usually if you have two when they are babies, you have a good chance of them pairing up, is this true?

Re: baby clowns

All clowns are born male and the strongest one will turn female. I dont think they will always pair, I think alot pair but dont breed. I could be wrong though.

Re: baby clowns

yeah i've read that they are Asexual until they are paired, then the Biggest clown will become female, when she Dies or gets eaten the next biggest will become the female..
