What kind of clown is this? I am guessing a false perc.

 

[MstgKillr]

Also male or female? I am thinking female.

 

[SNAKEMANVET]

I would say it is a false perc, and if it is by itself it will become female.Maybe someone else will chime in and verify.

Most definately A. ocellaris(false perc). There is not real way to tell the sex unless you dissect it.

The change from juvenile to male to female in aquariums doesn't always seem to work like it does in nature. Whatever causes the fish to grow and change sex, doesn't always seem to kick in in aquaruim situations.

 

[MstgKillr]

How can you tell so that I don't have to ask again?

the larger of the pair is always the female. its hard to say as phender said unless they're paired
