Size doesn't always determine the sex right away. The sex isn't established until they pair off at which point one under goes a sex change. When this change occurs, the female becomes bigger to make room for offspring.
It could be that the 2 have not paired yet. The size difference could simply be that one is older then the other. It is very likely that the bigger one will become the female. Its important to remember that though 4inch is big for an aquarium in the ocean what would be considered normal. I have always been amazed at the size of fish seen in the sea compared to the "babies" we keep in our aquariums. Last edited by Renegade; 03-31-2011 at 09:55 PM.

Thank you all firstly.
I have read that once you place one clownfish in. It will change into a female and it may not change again. is that true? What if my small clownfish changed to a female and my bigger one is a female too? Would it mean they will never pair? However they are not fighting and I am hoping that this means they are not the same sex?
