Breaking juveniles pairs? Bad idea, experience?

[NancyFish]

We have young clownfish, about 1in and 1.5in or less. They seem to get along well although very new and tiny.

Since I’m not discovering we will likely have an extra 1-2 tanks because of QT. I’m wondering if we could put one in a QT and find another clown to pair back up for our main tank?

We have two storms and the one was supposed to be black, but it’s mocha. My kid was a little upset about, so I was thinking maybe better to make the change now than later - unless ill advised?

It looks so easy to pair Ocellaris or Percula that you can pair them whenever

The sooner you do it the better. Once they get bigger and older, they can get more picky, especially when the larger of the two becomes a female. Once that happens, you'll only be able to pair it with a male.
