Will Amp. Ocellaris Change Sex??

[zoozilla]

Just wondering... If you only had 2 male OR 2 female A. Ocellaris in captivity will one eventually Change Sex (male to female OR female to male) so that they can mate?

Thanks..

You don't want two large females..they won't change to males.
You want to start with all juveniles or a large female and at least one smaller juvenile.

It's best to start with a group of juveniles and let them determine who is going to be who.

Large fish could be towards the end of their breeding life anyway.

I'm not an expert!

For A. ocellaris and most other clowns, unsex juv change to male then female but will not reverse. Male will not become juv, and female will not change to male again. Get two smaller clowns and you will be fine. When add a clown, I would add a smaller one.
