How to tell sex of clown fish?

[linkiat]

I bought a false percula yesterday but seems lonely seeing it swimming alone. Thinking of getting another but not sure if i just go out there and get one it'll be friendly towards each other.

So wondering if anyknow how to tell the ######. Also, even if I can't tell the ######, would it be better to get another false percular clown as a pair (regardless of ######) or it'll be just fine alone?

a bigger sized one than your current one would mean its a female.

get a smaller sized one so that the smaller one will remain the male and will submit to the current one in the tank.

from my contextual knowledge its like all clowns are born males and then once they are paired together or in groups...the more dominent ones will become females and they are also generally larger than the males..

yea..all clowns are hemaphrodites.

Clownfish are born without ###### and once they matured they have to choose which ###### they want, it depends on the environment.

Normally the most dominant will become female and the 2nd most dominant will become male.

If the clownfish become male they still have a chance to change ###### to female but once they become female there is no way changing ###### again.

swordtail is the one with the right desciption. clowns are born neutral and thay fight for domination and the largest in the group will be female the second largest male the rest will continue to be neutral. however size cannot determinr the ###### as a clown that has no competition all their life will remain a neutral
