Clownfish can change sex when they are adults. They are not controlled by age and can change sex at any time. But clownfish change sex irreversibly. They become males as adults. If they live in a group with a dominant female, they remain male until the female leaves or dies, and then they become female. But once they become female, they can't become male again.
At what age do clownfish begin to change sex and reproduce?

Clown fish can begin to change sex when they are

adults. They are hermaphrodites in their childhood. In different living environments, they will change into different sexes. If there are no females around them, the dominant one will become female, and unless the female leaves or dies, they can become female again. But their sex change is irreversible. They can change from sexless to male, from male to female, but not from female to male or sexless.

2. How old is the clown fish when it begins to breed

? Clown fish usually mature in about a year. Some of them have a better breeding environment and become adults in a few months. But if breeders want to breed, it is better to choose clownfish that are more than one year old, because the reproductive effect of clownfish that are too young is not good, and more than one year is the best time for their development. But there are also clownfish that mature very late, mainly because of genetic or breeding environment, so breeders should keep the environment suitable at ordinary times, otherwise they are likely to take a long time to mature. These late-maturing clownfish usually do not breed well, and breeders should not choose them for breeding.
