Gold Strip Maroon Clownfish

I really love the look of this fish. However I do not like the fact that it is very aggressive. I'm thinking of ways to curb this aggression as well as the size of it. My plans are to pair it with a black and white clown.

If I buy the black/white clown first then let it get a bit bigger, 2"+ range. Once the b&w is 2" plus, I'll purchase a very small maroon gold, 1" range. Should this plan work on making sure the black/white clown will be female? So if the black/white clown is female, the maroon gold should not grow to the 5-6" range and stay male??

IMO, the GSM will eventually kill the other clownfish.

Agreed. The maroon will kill the other clown. You can't try to "experiment" with trying to decrease the aggression of the maroon clown. Putting anything other than another maroon clown in is sentencing the other clown to death.

Right on. Thanks to you both.
