I just lost the female of my clownfish pair to velvet. The male is in copper and seems healthy, so I'm confident he'll live. Trying to figure out how long I have before he winds up as a female. He's about 1.25-1.5" long. Will he start shifting to female during the month the copper treatment will take? If not, how long do I likely have?
I know I could just get a bitty juvenile and put that in no problem, but I'd like to keep him as the male if I can, both for aesthetics (he's a storm, and I'd love to pair him with another standard black ocellaris) and because he has a gill deformity and swim bladder issue that I'm concerned might get worse if he grows several times larger as a female.
