B&W and percs????

[scoobydoo]

The SWF site says Black and White clowns and Percs get along with other clownfish. I thought you could only have one kind per tank? If that's true, do you get 2 of each or just one of each?

Do you mean do you 2 or each kind or just 1 clown?
If that is what you mean, then I would say get two clowns. When you get two of a kind the larger one becomes the female, and the smaller one becomes the male, and you can end up with a mated pair.

I was thinking of getting one nemo and one black and white. As long as they're both percs I should be okay, right? Which one should be the bigger one?

I guess that you can mix some clowns. i had a tomate and a pair of percs. As for mixing spieces of clowns, I am not sure. Why don't you ask this question in the reef forum. There are alot of people there, and many of them have clowns. However I was under the inpression that you could not mix single clowns. Like I said ask in the reef forum. You should get an answer pretty qucik.

They arn't actually percs they are Ocellaris clowns or false percs. It doesn't really matter which one is bigger just as long as one of them is.

Thats a toughie... my tomato mauled my clarkii. Turns out its not such a great idea to mix sub species. Do more research on the topic.
