clownfish

[xersion]

anyway to know if a clown fish is a male or female?

[Elune]

usually, when clowns are in a community, the biggest clown fish is the Alpha Female. its a Monarchy rule. when the biggest monarch is take away, the next biggest clown fish changes ###### and becomes the female. the rest remain male...

but when singlely kept, we always assume its female, becuz newcomers are always 'henpecked'. but if the newcomer is even bigger, then the former will change ###### back to male.
