gold stripe& false perculas?

[sebae09]

i have a quick ? my brother has a 125 gal and has 3 false percula's in the tank can he have a gold stripe maroon? or will the gold stripe kill the false percula's. the GSM he wants is 4IN long and the false percula's in his tank are about 1IN long

Maroons are very aggressive and I wouldn't be suprised if it kills all three of the ocellaris clowns. It's possible that one of the ocellaris is already a female, in which case the maroon will definitely kill at least that female.

I actually ended up pairing a false perc witha white stripe maroon... the false perc was the new one and so i put them both in a 10 gallon so they were both out of there element...i left em there for a while about 2-3 weeks.. now that i look back upon it i prob woulda done it for longer...the false perc had a little bit of hazing once getting into the main tank because theres a BTA in it but now its fine and they just relax... the size of the main tank is a 92
if you have a anenome iwoudl putthem all in smaller QT tank also is this a 125 long?.. the 6 foot?

 

[sebae09]

Yea a 125 long. the false perculas stay at the right side most of the time if there was any way i could get him to say at the left.

well thers a chance that one of the oscelaris might pair up with the maroon and ud have 2 pairs..

 

[sebae09]

true but this maroon is mean he bit me in the the FS i was feeding a condi .

 

[akbuuur]

so is my maroon if i go any where near her anenome shell rip my hand up
hell
if i go anywhere near her territory period
and she doesnt even back down to my yellow tang

 

[sebae09]

well if the gsm does beat the hell out of the false percula's can i put him in my tank with pink skunks?

 

[akbuuur]

pink skunks are suposed to be very timid i think? idk someone else could further tell u info about them i never had experiance with them but they are very pretty
you could house him in your sump until u find someone to take him?

 

[sebae09]

i wouldn't think they would fight because they are diffrent colors.

 

[akbuuur]

colors yes... but so are false percs
but if thers not a anenome in the tank u might be able to get away with it.. how big is it? alota rock work? and how many skunks?

 

[sebae09]

in my tank theres not an anenome. my tank is a 55gal reef with 110 pounds of LR, their are 2 skunks a maited pair.

 

[akbuuur]

a 55 is a bit small... what you could do is switch the false percs and skunks and put the maroon in at the same time.. if ur bro doesnt have a anenome
