Ocellaris reverse pairing?

[hockyfn30]

Hi recently bought a second ocellaris to go along with the lonely male who lost his woman. The new one is about 2" while the male that I have is about 1 1/4". Its been about of week since the new one was added and the smaller male seems to like to chase the larger one around the tank. The larger also like to do the submissive "shimmy" like a male would. With such a large size difference I figured that the new clownfish would become the female but is it possible that it could turn out the other way around with the smaller fish the female?

It is probable that they will end up killing each other. I can assure you that size doesn't matter who will be female or male. The more dominant one will be female as tradition will tell you. You made a huge risk adding a larger clown in with widowed clown. The odds they will pair up are slim. Of course, this is only my experience.
