My first saltwater fish

Just showing the pair of clowns I got. I got a larger set that were already in a tank together and the first day they needed space but now today they are like two peas in a pod. Any thoughts on the age they are according to their life cycle. I don't think they are juveniles but they could be. One is definitely the female and the other is her little "buddy" haha. This is the best pic I could get and don't want to disturb them too much

They look to be juveniles, how big would you say they are? Either way they look really nice.

I'd have to estimate 2-2.5 inches. Hard to tell in the water

With clownfish unless you know when they are it's pretty hard to determine. They are all born male then one becomes the dominant female in the pair. So being able to guess is just that, a guess.

If it's just a matter of guessing lol I'd say juvenile which I'm basing solely on size. Beautiful pair either way.
