how long to wait before seeing if a pair of oclowns is truley a pair

[Freddie57]

sorry guys but the subject is my q

I have had a pair of o clowns for 1-1/2 years now and one is alot bigger than the other they share rose nem and seem to hang out together all of the time

problem is there are to many other fish in the tank coral beauty, fox face, engineer goby, and two yellow tail damsels.

I have a pair that spawns in my 200g. Also in the tank are a purple tang, yellow tang, scoapus (sp?) tang, a hippo tang, a bicolor blennie, pajama cardinal, and a yellow watchman goby with a pistol shrimp.
They'll spawn if they are happy and fed well.

I guess what I am asking is how do you know they are bonded

 

[billsreef]

They haven't killed each other

sorry guys I am not trying to breed them but just wondered what the chances of it happening would be

Chances are good if they are happy and well fed.
