How do clownfish distinguish between male and female? Can they be raised together

Clownfish is a hermaphroditic fish. Their gender can be changed, but only females can be changed into males, and females can't be changed into males. When they first hatch, they can be said to have no gender, neither male nor female. In artificial breeding, they will be transformed into different genders for reproduction. If you want to judge an individual's gender, you can look at their body shape. Generally, female fish are large. 1、 How do clownfish distinguish between male and female clownfish? Clownfish is a very special fish. They are hermaphroditic fish. Hermaphroditic animals in nature, such as earthworms and snails, but hermaphroditism in fish is less common. Moreover, the sex of clownfish can also change. When clownfish just hatched, they didn't care about male and female. At this time, they can be said to be asexual, because they are neither male nor female now. After that, their gender may be reversed.

They become male fish first and then female fish. This process is irreversible. After they become males, they will not become asexual again; After they become females, they don't change into males. However, they can also be asexual all their life, or they can no longer be transformed into females after becoming males, which are possible. Their gender transformation mainly depends on the environment, which is an uncertain factor. 2、 Can the male and female clownfish be raised together? As mentioned above, the gender of clownfish can be transformed. In the process of transformation, they may be in the state of male fish, female fish, or even asexual. If there are clownfish that have been transformed into male fish and clownfish that have been transformed into female fish, they can be raised together. They will not attack each other, and their habits are the same, so it will not be difficult to adjust the surrounding environment. (XiaoChouYuZenMeFenBianGongMu,GongMuNengYiQiYangMa)
