Age on Clowns to Mate?

[Mojo Jojo]

How old do clowns have to be before they mate? Mine were born Halloween of 06' (a very cool b-day inded) Well Anyways this past week the female is getting pretty fat. Their behavior has become very aggressive too.

I don't know what's average, but my ocellaris were about 3. I've seen attempts with my percs but no real success that I can see. They are a little over 2 years.

For me, three years old is usually the magical age. I have had some that have pushed it out to four years.

the answer depends on species and environmental conditions.
I had a one year old pair of CB ocellaris spawn.
