yeah imo they need at least a 30 gallon tank, they get big. better pic would be percula or occilaris (sp?)

I have 2 occerlis clowns (at least I think they are occerlis) in my 10 gal, and doing great for 2 years. They are a mated pair, working on their first batch of eggs now (hopefully!)

Just wanted to make a point that I have healthy ocellaris in my 10 gal for him to consider

I would take the maroons back and get some perculas or ocellaris clowns. If you want to pair them successfully, pick out the 2 thats most equal in size.

is it the same store you got them from? How long have you had them for?
with me, I tell my LFS that I bought the fish, and I realized I made a mistake, I'd like to return them for what I paid for and get something else. Sometimes they'll agree, sometimes they wont, but let me put the credit to another fish.
Since salt fish has no guarantee, and most places wont take it back at all, it can be a 'better than nothing' deal.

for the maroons? yeah probably but you are returning them... if its 4.50 a piece for the percula or occelaris clowns then if they are healthy, yes it is a steal. my percula was $25... also if you want them to mate, you will want to buy 2 of equal size and you will also want them to be verry small because they are born male and can only turn female once. they cant go back... (i think it goes in that order). so it is good to buy small ones becasue there is less of a chance of them having already changed ---. if you get 2 males, the dominant one will become female. if you get 2 females its war...

What a rip off , tells you they really care about their customers .
If you weren`t so far I`d buy them .
