Clownfish losing bright color..

hey guys,
I picked up two ocellaris clowns last week and they have been eating both mysis/brine shrimp and spectrum pellets. They stick together and are very active. However, i have noticed one of them is starting to get darker and lose its bright orange color. Ill post a pic. Its blurry but you can compare the two fish. Thanks guys

No worries, clownfish often turn a darker color as they mature.

They are about two inches each and they wont leave each others side for anything....any chance they are paired?

Yes. One in a million. (so you're saying there's a chance...

j/k i would say they were paired, especially if one is changing color/size at a more rapid pace than the other. that doesnt mean they will start spawning right away, but my guess from 1000 miles away with one blurry photo is YES!

good luck,
tim
