Want to know something

[Mr CRABS]

I want to know if there's a specific size the clown fish has to reach before it can start laying eggs or breed.Is there a age limit to anything...like must the clownfish pairs be kept in a same place for a long time???

Different clowns come in different sizes so its hard to state a standard size- but any adult clown(adult colouration) of the species can breed.

e.g- Gold(or yellow) maroon clowns reach adult when they get the gold stripes.(they have white stripes as juveniles)

Age for pairing really depends on the clowns themselves- anywhere from 12mths to 15mths to years. (In wild caught fishes u can't tell this way because you won't know how old they are)-

in the wild a harem of clowns can consist of a few smaller individuals along with the dominant mating pair, these individuals can be of the same age but smaller in size.

They need to get used to their environment and feel safe- same feeding times/same lighting period for a few months and when they feel comfortable - start the courtship rituals(which can take a few more months).
