Clownfish Experiment Time

I have a 6In. Maroon Clownfish which has been in my tank for over 13yrs. I felt the fish was old and lonely so I wanted to get another Maroon Clownfish to try and pair up.

I went to Trop yesterday and they had the smallest maroon clown like 3/4In. I acclimated the fish and placed him in the tank and left the lights off a good part of the day.

Within an hour the new clownfish was allowed inside the RBTA and this morning their like pees & carrots. I was thinking I had a 50/50 chance with this and I guess I got lucky.

We had that same exact experience when we paired a long time sexually mature female with a neutral/male young maroon. Conversely we had an older male/possibly mid-change female and she would not tolerate that same young maroon.
