More than one Female Clown?

[ginger7286]

Hello,

I have seven Percs in my tank. I bought the original three as my first clowns, I then added an additional 4. Although they split up during the day to lounge in other anemones in the tank they all gather into the same one at night, a huge RBT. Anyway my question is I know I have one large female but will any of the others turn into a female or will they all be males? Can a tank provided enough space for two females?

You better hope they stay male, and you'll be real lucky if you don't have a prob down the road as they mature.

In the wild I think a male and female will pair up while the other little clowns will stay imature. In the aquarium it may be different. It would be interesting if they did the same in your tank though. I think most people just keep two because they worry about the above poster's comment.
There are people who keep more than one pair in large tanks. I don't know how long they're able to do that though.
