:xlbirthday:Hello everyone. On 5/5 /16 I began my adventure into salt water with 2 beautiful true Percs (Mark and Donna) . They were and are extremely healthy and vibrant. Donna was 1 1/2 inches and Mark was a little over 1 ". Donna is now 2" and Mark 1 3/4" is there any way to guesstimate their ages. Thanks in advance . Love this forum.

Hard to say without knowing the detailed history of those fish.
Most important would be to know if they were wild caught or tank raised.
If they were wild they could be anywhere between 6 months and several years.
With captive bred I would guess their age somewhere between 3 to 9 months. Grow-out tank size and feeding quality and frequency can stun or boost the growth of clownfish.

Thank you ThRower. They were tank raised. I guess they are just little kids.
