pairing maroons with host

[johnbooko]

i have read jhardmans faq on pairing clownfish and i think its incredible. i have a question about pairing maroon clowns with a host present. i purchased a 3-4" female maroon and i should get her sometime this week. i was planning on getting a juvi for her in about a month. is the anemone in the tank going to make it impossible to make a pair? does it change the time period i should wait to put a juvi in with her (at the same time maybe)?

If she hosts the anemone you can move faster. If she does host right away give her a month or more to settle in. Sometimes the presence of a host anemone can cause an increased aggressive response. If she is already hosting she should be past the peak of aggression from the hosting...
