Hello all! I'm considering purchasing two adult wild caught Madagascar clowns, Amphiprion latifasciatus. From photos and video, they both appear to be females of similar size. The seller has them in the same display tank and they appear to be getting along for a couple of weeks now.
Is it a bad idea to buy two that are so close in size and both likely female?
Will the eventual sub dominant one that turns male develop that attractive long lyre tail typically seen on younger smaller males? As of now, neither has the extended lyre tail.
They appear to be about 5 inches long. Would this make them potentially quite old? Should I look/wait for a younger pair to get the most for my money? That could be a while.
Lastly, I have an 80 gallon shallow, wide, tank filled almost rim to rim with large Magnfica anemones. I know that this is not their natural host, but do you think they would take to the Magnifica?
Thanks for any and all advice!
