I've had my tank bred ocellaris for about 2 years now - any one got any ideas how old clowns are when TMC put them into the trade? - I'm trying to work out how old mine are... and how big should they be.... the larger (female I assume) is black and white and about 2" long, the smaller male is a classic orange and white and about 1.5". They host in a torch coral in my lagoon system btw.;)

From memory its about 10-12 week depending on growth rates species etc.

so that would make them about 2-2.5 years old..... when do they become mature? should they be bigger than 1.5-2" this at this age?

Maturity at about 12 - 15 months IIRC.
