Clowns - Aquarium Advice

I know my clowns Will most likely Get along better as they get used to each other but how will I know which one is a male or a female. Right now one swims back and forth the whole length of my tank 41/2 feet and the other just floats around. They were put in around a week apart and the lasts one was added on Saturday.

Please anyone know or want to give me your Best input on this one! I just want happy clowns that are not chasing each other!

Thanks! ~

The one that becomes larger will be the female.

What is the size difference between the two? Not always but sometimes if you add a larger one and a smaller one the will become a mated pair with the larger one becoming a female. As I said there is no guarantee though.

just wondering if my clowns are ok. I just got mine and they swim together all the time even at night in corners. they look like they are struggling maybe the water flow to high. my other fish (yellow tail blue damsels) chill at night and hide.
