Ok, how big do these fish need to be in order to spawn? 2'', 3'', 4''? Just curious, because i wanna spawn some fishes. My tank is getting boring and I need to spice it up a bit, plus my perc is looking sad and lonely. Oh ya and, how much bigger does the female- to-be clown have to be than the male? Twice the size? a little bigger? same size, More aggressive?
It depends on the speices as to how much bigger they are. With Percuals the Female is usually around 3 to 3.5 inches, the male around 2.5 to 3 inches. In Maroon Clowns the Female is generally almost two times the size, up towards 6 inches.
Females tend to be somewhat more agressive, but if the fish has a nest or they are in "breeding" mode they will both be more agressive then normal.
