Juvenile Clownfish Maturity

[LJA]

I purchased a juvenile Ocellaris almost 2 months ago and I have seen it grow a little. Currently it is about 2 1/2 inches long and is the only clown in my tank. Recently it has started terrorizing my chromis when it comes near it. I was wondering if this is because it has transformed from Juv-male-female already. How will I know for sure before I add another clown in the hopes of pairing them?

Thanks for the info.

anyone?

I have read the thread at the top but that doesn't really explain anything in detail about this.

AFAIK, no one is really sure how long it takes.

When pairing clowns, a good rule of thumb is to always add small juveniles. This may not hold true in some circumstances/species, but will greatly reduce the odds of ending up with two females.
