Maroon Clownfish Pairing

[jharte]

Would it be possible to pair two maroon clownfish by simply adding two juveniles at the same time? Also would it be possible to have a mandarin goby with a maroon clown in the same tank?

Thanks

it is certainly possible to pair maroons this way.. in fact IMO that is a good way to pair them.

It is also possible to have the madarin in the tank. However, My percula clowns used to beat up my mandarin pretty bad even though the mandarin was much bigger.

once clowns reach sexual maturity all bets are off

I would definitely either get a pair of juveniles and introduce them at the same time, or pick up a pair. Vivid aquarium has pairs for $70 but their shipping is kind of pricey.

what size is a maroon considered a juvie

Not sure about regular maroons, but you can tell with GSM by whether or not the stripes have started turning yellow yet. If the stripes are still white then they are for sure juvie.
