Used to believe it can go from months, but now I can tell you they can go for YEARS and not change. Don't know the reason, just observations from some of my pairs.
The one I thought it's a female (b/c it's very aggressive and beating up the smaller one), after 9 months, suddenly decided to kill the smaller 'male', then I throw her in with a much larger one. They paired up and the 'aggressive suppose-to-be' female (2.5") ended up being a male in that spawning relationship.
Some of my mated pair nowadays take 2+ yrs to finally accept each other too ... clowns are wierd things
