Stocking Question

[Shipley18]

ok today i went out a bought my first salt water a fish a TR percula clown fish i picked the smallest one because i love to watch them grow! i was wondering 1) is there a way to tell if its a girl of a guy? 2) can i get another one or will they fight if they are both male/female 3 are they easy to get to breed or nearly impossible? 4) what esle woudl complimen tthem good!

1) it is female; clowns are inherently female. if two are present the smaller generally will become a male

2) they will be ok as long as you start them both small and at around the same time

3) if water quality is good they will breed on their own...you can't really make them

4) something like a blenny, firefish, or goby is about all i would put in a 20 with a pair

3) Easy to breed, but raising the hatched fry is pretty difficult
