Opinions on Maroon Clownfish

Probably kill each other unless you know they are a breeding pair. Best to go juvenile or one large, one juvenile. Maroons can be tricky to pair though.

Yeah just asking cause the lfs has two larger ones

go very large and very small for the maroons, also an acclimation box might be needed. Good luck

Thats not a tomato clown? Doesn't look like a maroon.

They need to be different sizes or may fight and still then there's no guarantee.

If I buy two bigger looking maroons will one change sex so that they are male and female? Or just kill each other

They will definitely fight for dominance IMO

I

Didn't know there was more than one type of maroon. Anyhow love mine and rbta is natural host so should work out. I wouldn't add more than two and make sure one is much larger. Add the smaller first.

I have a lightning and a gold nugget

If you can afford it, best to buy a mated pair for peace of mind. I bought a mated pair of gold nugget maroons when they were still juvenile with one already established as the female since she was bigger. They were both white when I got them, now they're turning a nice gold color, looking fierce...they took to my BTA within 15 minutes of being introduced to the tank and haven't left since
