    Default How to tell sex of Ocellaris Clown

    Is there any way to tell the sex of a clownfish other than it's relative size and behavior?

    I've got 2 young clownfish and 1 is obviously bigger than the other, but I was curious if there are other physical changes as they get older.

    i think if you have a pair then the smaller of the two will be male and the bigger of the two will be female, im not sure but i think clown fish have the ability to change sexes, any one care to tell me if im right or wrong?
