Hello, I’ve been looking online at some clownfish. *I do not have a tank setup yet just looking in advance

The website I decided to go with only sells pairs of the same morph. (I’m not sure if morph is the right word for the strains of color)

If I wanted to get clownfish of different morphs I would get them as juveniles so they’re both boys and have not yet gone through sequential hermaphroditism as I believe it’s called.

Is there anything I should know about introducing them together, what to expect, things to worry about etc. ?

If they’re the same species but different morphs there’s nothing inherently special about them bring different morphs. It should just be the same as adding that same identical morphs.

I can’t say much to the sexes but I assume you won’t know what you’re getting. Once in the tank the bigger or dominant one might turn female if not already.
