clownfish pair

[pennfisherman]

I love clown fish in geniral, and am very intrested in keeping a pair in my 14gal biocube reeftank. What r some types that can be keep in a tank that size?
And do I have to buy a pair or if I go to a LFS can I just pick up a male and female and wait/hope they pair up?

If so what r some fetures that distiguish male and female?
Forgive spelling thanks for listening

I would recommend a pair of Picasso clowns. They are percula and take quite a bit of time to grow. Females are bigger...

Would I be able to buy just a male and female??

Buy them the same size and one will turn female (dominant larger one). You can also buy a mated pair. As long as you buy juveniles, they should pair up.
