    I've had 2 false perc clowns for abou 1.5 yr now, when I got them they were about the same size and use to fight all the time. After about 6 months, I noticed the stopped fighting and started hosting one of my large frogspwns so I got BTA, they are now hosting the BTA, and one is now much bigger than the other. Question, is this a sign that I now have a pair, if so how do I identify which is male and which is female?

    Thanks
