Pairing Liopropoma carmabi

[Bongo Shrimp]

So I'm looking into getting a pair of L. carmabi but was wondering if they need to be a collected pair or if they can change sexes. Does anyone know about this? I looked on some breeding forums but there seems to be some yeses and some noes.

Insight please.

To my knowledge Liopropromas change sex.

I finally got my Liopropoma carmabi pair but one died less than a day after arriving. My one that is left is doing great and although it's not cheap I can't stop wanting to have a pair! I DO NOT want to get another only to have them fighting because they are the same sex. Does anyone know if they do change sex or if size has something to do with it?

I have seen a few pairs such as Sanjay Joshi's and it appears that one is usually bigger than the other. Even when I first got mine, one was larger.

Anyone?

IIRC they are like clowns, angels, and wrasses; the smaller animal will be the female and the larger is the male. I might have that nack asswards, but I'm pretty sure I read it at one time.
