ways to pair up maroon clownfish

[Hecter]

hello, any reefers here have success pairing up maroon clowns? Share share leh

I trying to pair my maroons.. The female is about 2 inches and the male 1 inch..

Boxed my male one until really pathetic.. , so i took it out liao, put in a small tank to recuperate. Now almost healty liao..

It's a nice male, with a white strip at the bottom at the tail.. look like a white dot abt 2 mm diameter from both sides..

Now, i have put it in a small fish tank inside the tank about 20 cm from the female maroon hangout. That's what i read over the net..

2 inch would still be a male. You should try pairing up by getting another maroon about 1/4 to 1/5th the size of ur bigger maroon. Don't just introduce them like that. Keep the small male in a clear container in the tank and let the bigger one get used to it for a few days. Then let the male out and hope for the best. If fighting still occurs then isolate the male from the bigger fish for a few more days and hope for the best.
