I would imagine that none of them were mated to begin with, and now you only have 2, one should become a male and they should become a mated pair.
But alas these things can not be forced! _________ | |

lol, the black saddlebacks were defenatly a pair, the other do false percs, were still little and they paired up, but i beleive that they had not become a mated pair like the others, is it possible for a black saddle back clown, and a tank-raised false perc clown to become a mated pair???? | |

Not sure on that count, but I've always been under the impression that a non-gender may become either male of female, and a male may become a female, but once a female, permanently a female, not sure if that helps. | |
