who has successfully paired up tank raised maroons?

[DMK]

i'm going tomorrow to try and pair up juvenile maroon tank raised clowns and leave w/ just 2. i bought a RBTA on wed and it's settled. the thank the RBTA came from had 15 or so small, 1-1.5" beautiful juvenile TR maroons. they had a true pair of big wild caught ones, but i don't want so big and i don't want WC. i was going to just get the biggest and smallest juvenile, but i just read this technique does not work w/ maroons. what did u do to pair your maroons up. i wish it was easy as getting a big 1 and a small 1, even thought they are close to same size. there is only a small difference in size. guy at store said to buy 3, he said 2 would pair up, then start picking on other which would then be removed. i don't want to do this though.

you want the male to be at most a little less than half the size of the female. If he is too large, she may tolerate him for a little while but will eventually see him as a threat and give him the boot. Check out Joyce Wilkersons Clownfish book. It has been my bible.

i got them today. they were hanging together in a RBTA in store. 1 only about 1/4" smaller than other. bigger 1 about 1.5". they went right into my RBTA, do not leave each other and are getting along perfect. hope it stays that way.
