I would say it is not common but not rare. Clowns appear to become functioning males much more quickly than females. I had a friend who had a 9 month old male do the same.

Honestly, that's about the time period before a boy bangaii started trying to hold for an older, experienced female.

ya it shocked me i put a clear wall to block the female from eating them as she started to i want to see if he can care for them alone they can still see eachother and none have died yet so i think he did his job
