Clown Question

[swfein]

So I bought a perc clown tonight but the LFS recently acquired him so their letting me keep him there for a week to observe and make sure all is well.
Either way I was wondering down the road what the chances are of adding another if I ever want to? I hear its hard but is it impossible? Maybe for the second one get a very small one?
Whats the scoop on this?

I hear...(or readLOL) that when you add a second you should add a smaller one.....

 

[swfein]

Also what might be a good, hearty choice for an ann for this clown?

 

[meowzer]

IDK...I have a BTA and mine don't go near it...I think it all depends...I have heard BTA's are the best...but then you ask my clowns why they don't like it.....

 

[swfein]

Do you have percs?

 

[meowzer]

yup...I have 4....2 in my 225g and 2 in my54g.....don't ask me if they are tru or false...I have no clue....I do know they look like NEMO...LOL

I have two false percs and mine are hosting my live rock at this point. )
I added them at the same time, however, I did get one that is a little over two inches and the other is significantly smaller. The reason is because one is for sure the female and one is the male. If you have purchased a clown that is around 2 in or bigger, it is a female. (dominant) and if you were to add one down the road, just make sure it is significantly smaller, meaning it is for sure male. The females are always the dominant of the species they are always larger and they will more than likely fight over the territory. Just make sure that they are all little males. :0)
