Clarkii Pairing

[BigE]

I have a small clarkii clown and in the future I want to get a mate for him/her. I can't find any info on their habits of pairing up though. Are they basically the same as percs? Do they also do the whole sex changing thing?

Thanks

How small is small? I wouldn't say that they are the same as percs... Clarkii tend to me more aggressive although not as aggressive as maroons. It is my understanding that they do change sex. With the larger fish being the female.
