how long will it take them to pair?

days weeks, months, year...

it really depends on which one decides to become "Female" and the other accepts.

And if they dont become happy, they can, have a clown divorce, and the female can kill the male.

Also please and i say please, until your tank matures... like you start seeing purple coraline algae, do not get an anenome. They do not NEED one.

If you want a coral clowns like yours love to host, a duncan coral is probably my first recommendation, as i have always seen them host one. Duncans are also very hardy, unless your water chemistry is really bad, and best of all, they do not move.

$3.25 an hour, a used 71 Ford Pinto and a little spending money left over. Those were the days…

I started at $4.25/hr drove a 76 Datsun and gas was .79/gallon. Yellow tangs were about $19.99

I was born in 80, grew up behind the big wall. Dads first car of course a Trabant, only car a worker could get and Waiting period for that was 15 years. When a shop had bannanas you had a line up out the door and around the block. My hero was David Hasselhoff when he sang 'I've been looking for freedom' on top of that crumbling wall in 89. I earned money then bringing old paper and bottles away.

I don’t know, but if it happens, you will know. Mine host my Goni’s and bubble coral. I feel sorry for my male, the female lays eggs about every two weeks and the poor guy refuses to leave. He fans the eggs, picking out the bad ones while she eats and eats… They are funny little fish and you will get to know them and their weird habits.

your rocks and side of glass tank will have this hard purple stuff that grows over it, which is a sign of a mature and stable tank.

If you start growing coraline and it goes away, it means your tank is having problems.

It depends. Have you introduced anything with coralline algae on it. If not, the next time you take Uber to the fish store, ask them if you can have some scrapings out of their tanks. It has to be introduced!
