how old are clowns when they lay their eggs? i have a possible pair although its tough telling. are juveniles pretty agressive?will they mellow out and breed once they get older. at what age are they sexually mature?

also can juveniles (1 year-old ocellaris clowns) change sex?

I took two juveniles out of an anemone when they were only 1/4 of an inch long, they are now breeding which took them two years to get to that stage. I am sure quality and quantity of diet may have something to do with how fast or slow they mature and get the energy to do so.

2+ years depending on diet and environmental conditions.
