strange percula behavior
a year ago I had two percula clowns and the male used to vibrate/convulse in front of the female. well the male jumped out and died and the new clown I have is larger than my female so know my female has changed sex to the male and is now doing this weird dance for the other perc. Is this some type of mating thing. all help appreciated thanks

Females don't change back to males...if the clown you had was old enough to really be a female, you will probably have some serious fighting on your hands.

+1. you pretty much always want to add a smaller perc to avoid this

clowns posses the ability to change from unsexed to male to female, but in that order only, and they cant change back. as said above, if your old female is truely a female, then your going to have some major trouble on your hands...
