i want to scream....

[Drklotus]

ok i have waited a VEry long time to find and afford a mated pair of black oc. clowns. well yesterday it finally happened.. i was the proudest parent in the world. BUT. due to an unfortunate freak accident with my filter...i lost my male. :furious:. so i there any chance of introducing a male to her. how can i sex...what do i do. i wannt curl in bed and scream for a day.

 

[WDLV]

Add a small one. They'll pair up.

 

[Drklotus]

how do i know its a male or can juv go through sex changes?

 

[deangelr]

it is likely unsexed.. Juveniles can become male or female.

 

[davocean]

Yeah, just get a juvy, and intro in a specimen container or breeder box.

 

[socalsalttank]

Yes they can go through a sex change at juve

 

[Drklotus]

ok great so there still a chance.. but its still a major depressor

 

[WDLV]

Just start with a juvie (neuter) or male, and you'll have no issues. You could even take a male from a bonded pair and see how it goes.

Of course, you've made sure that you've fixed the problem that led to the demise of your first male clown, right? Just checking.
