Aside from the obivous?

Gold stripes have bright yellow (gold) stripes. The white stripe has white stripes...

The gold stripes are gorgeous. I'm debating getting those instead of nemos.

I now that much but I have Maroon Clown with touch of yellow not full yellow so dos the strip change as they get older or do I have whit strip Maroon Clown only asking because I want to buy it mate.

 

[jbc123]

Yeah, gold stripes can be white when young and turn yellow with age. White stripes stay white.

 

[jon56048]

Last? For you or any one if you don’t mind me asking I seen white strip with skinning strips and yellow with wider strips is this a another way to tell them a part?

So if yellow strip has white strips when it’s younger how do you now what l
Kind of maroon clown fish you are getting?

Ask the store you bought it from. Gold stripes tend to be more expensive so the store might know.

I was looking @ 2nd hand one and the one at the store has white strips and they got it for yellow strip price and there say it a baby witch is fine I want smaller one I just done want the white strip one

the stripes turn yellow after about a year. If they say it's a yellow stripe and it turns out not to be, take it back to them.

Ok here the thing with that I just started there and don't want to **** the boss off but its small town pet store and I would like a mate for my larger maroon clown

but thanks for the help

In order to make your own mated pair try to get a larger size gold stripe (if that is what you have) because the large ones are female and the smaller ones tend to be male.

You definitely want to get a small clown if you already have a maroon, and keep it in a specimen container until the established maroon no longer tries to kill it. Maroons can be tricky to pair.

If the pet store says it's a gold stripe, you'll have to trust him. And if it turns out to be a white stripe, take it back or at least demand the difference be paid back. I don't think you'll make the boss angry. Besides, you'll only find out if it's not a gold stripe months from now, so you won't be a new customer then. The owner should understand and offer to exchange the fish if it is sold as something it isn't. Keep the receipt if you're really worried.
