Clownfish Pair?

Does anybody know of a lfs or online store that is carrying a mated pair of clownfish? Or can I buy two clownfish and have them become a pair?

you can buy basically two clowns of the same size and watch one grow bigger than the other then you will have your female(larger one) and male(smaller one), good luck.

watch out. the above method doesnt always work with themore aggressive species like tomatos and moroons, but will work always with ocellaris, pretty much.
www.reefhotspot.com usualy has some mated pairs.

Adding on to Eric's comment, you can find them quite regularly at:
http://www.liveaquaria.com/diversden...3788&subref=AD

Then click on the "fish" tab at the bottom right. Right now I believe they have a Aquacultured black and white Ocellaris clownfish pair in stock.

Check it out.
