Can a tank raised and wild clown mate?

[sfboarders]

I bought a tank raised clownfish awhile back who killed a smaller wild clown. So luckily I found another wild caught clown which is bigger than the tank raised clownfish.

Is it possible for these two to mate? They are in separate QT right now.

The tank raised clownfish use to be a pair at the LFS but I separated them. The bigger wild clownfish was the only clown in the tank I bought it from a local reefer. If they are both female can one of them still change sexes (I take it the smaller one)? TIA

Tank raised and wild should mate w/o any more difficulty than is otherwise associated. However, the process is juvenile to male to female. Males can turn into females but females can't turn into males. Two females will likely fight with each other.

Thanks for the quick response! *crossing fingers* that one of them is male.
