Clownfish Age

[ck508]

I have two Ocellaris clownfish, hoping they will mate. I would like to know; how do I tell when the clownfish aren't juvinialles anymore and when they are ready to babies?

its a process. how big are the clowns? i have 2 clowns that are about 1.25" each and the male ( i think) is already showing courtship signs. but some good things to start looking for are; one clown will get bigger then the other, and also more aggresive. the other clown will look like its vibrating or having a seizure next to the bigger one. but if i'm wrong then someone will correct me

+1^, mine were both same size when I bought them as juviniles. In about 6 to 8 months one doubled in size (became the Female)

Here is a short link that may help some. Have fun!
