Clowns

[jsolomon]

JUst curious, can a true perc clown and a false perc clown mate? Or do you need two of the same?

I asked this same ? awhile back, yes, false percs and true percs sometimes mate in the wild. This creates a hybrid clown... That also is the same with black perculas and true/false percs. This is a big argument to some, that want to keep the SW breeds pure with no hybrids. I think my Cinnamon clown may be a hybrid since it has the cinnamon color on the middle of the fishes body, and the "tomato" red outlining this, if that makes any sense...
