I have a pair of fale Perculas that I've had since they were small. About 2.5 years. About 7 months ago i moved them from there 12 nano to my new 90 gallon.
I have an opportunity to get a maroon clown that is real big, about 2x the size of mine, and real fat. Question is are they compatible in the same tank? My thought is that they will fight to the death, BUT, it cant hurt to ask.

I've had 2 perculas for about 2 years in my 125 gal. Also have a maroon which is 2x's the size. They get along fine. At feeding time, the maroon does get a little bossy, but they all get enough to eat & that is the only time there is any conflict. If u have a 90 gal, it should be plenty big enough & they shouldn't fight

Is A&A2's post the final thought on this question? I have a pair of 1.5 inch perculas in my 100 gallon tank and would love to add a marroon clown, but everything that I've read until now says that marroons will kill other clowns. Do you guys really think that a 1-2 inch marroon clown could be added since the perculas were in first? Thanks.

Keep in mind - Maroon Clowns get to be 6 inches when full grown. They are the most aggressive of all clownfish species. It's not best to mix different clownfish species.

I second that. I have a maroon clown that is about 2.5 inches now and is very aggressive only towards my 2 perculas
