I know these guys are generaly considered fierce fighters when it comes to pairing off. If I purchase two, small size about 1" and put them into a 150G. Reef aquariam.

Will they be ok growing up with eachother and eventualy pairing off? I know that once one matures into a female it will usualy only accepts a smaller clown as its mate, harder to pair off with one of similar size. Or is it a little different when they grow up together?
 
i'm sure 1 will eat just a little bit more and eventually get bigger meaning it will turn into the dominant female. the way i did it was I got 1 first and let "her" (i'm sure she wuz still sexless at the time) be in the tank by herself for 1-2 months. then when i got my other one i wanted to pair up, i made sure "he" was smaller and put him in the tank. It was very interesting watching them do the submission ish (shaking, spine kissing, etc...). good luck
