Clownfish

[sheni_angel]

I've been warned it's not a good idea to mix clownfish.1) If I stay with the true Perculas (I was thinking tank raised) can I have more than one if I introduce them as juveniles?
2) Better with the anemone or doesn't matter?
Thanks.

Yes you'll be ok if you introduced both of them as juveniles, though there is a slight chance that they might not get along. One will later on grow bigger and be the female and the smaller one is the male, then you'll have a pair. The better way to do it is getting a mated pair, therefore you don't have to worry about they not getting along.
About the anemones, it'll be nice if you give them one. But without one is ok, they'll manage .

I don't have an anemone with my two false percs. It's funny though, when I wake up in the morning and before the lights turn on, I usually see the female snuggling up with the feather duster. After the lights are on and she's awake, she ignores it for the rest of the day.
Either with or without one, your clowns will be happy

Percs are not as aggressive as some of the other Clowns. So you can introduce the two at the same time. Tank Raised Percs are what I have and have had no problem with them. Also they do not nee an anemone they are just fine without one. Tank raised clowns usually dont go to an anemone. Hope this helps.

I have two false percs and are happey with eachother. However, i got a bubble-tip anemone and both of them took to it and are now preparing to mate ... but they're more aggressive...If I try to move or adjust any new live rock, they'll bite my hand and arm, so i just net 'em and put them into a net breeder until I'm finished

If you already have one can you later introduce another.

Hey, thanks for the info. If I did get a small group as juveniles (true percs) would they be more aggressive towards my other fish?
Also, I think it'd be neat to have a host anenome, but not if they'll get so mean to protect it. The friendlier the better.
