How does this sound

[sandman12]

Any one can give there opinion thats what iam looking for please!!!
I have noticed that no one has done a tank with just clown fish,anenomes, and corals(and of course clean up crew)
So thats what iam going to do with my 30gal. I want to get 2 true percs., 1 skunk, and 1 black perc. mabe one other. What do u think???
I plan to do it almost no matter what, as long as i can bring it back to the lfs it one fights, One employ at my lfs said at her house she had a morron and 2 true percs.?? Dont know about that one

I can give you mine, I don't know if it will be the one your looking for or not.
2 true percs are ok. 2 true percs and a black, I would think they would fight. A black perc is a color morph of a perc. You would have 3 percs, 1 male, 1 female and 1 dead perc.
Also, a skunk... never had one. But, clowns are in the damsel family. Damsels are territorial, they fight.
IMO, I would only keep 2 clowns of the same genuis.

IMO i wouldnt keep more than 2 kinds of any fish in a 30g. stay with a pair of true percs.

I kept a Large maroon clown a long time ago, and he killed the perc that was in the tank. Sometimes maroons just will not stand to have another clown in the tank.

yeah but then ill have a nice big 30 gal tank with 2 fish. I think ill just try to add slowly and if they fight i will take them out , iam rethinking the black perc.
but i would like to have more than 2 fish in a 30gal.

Big?? a 30 gal? If you do decide to go against our advice and get more than 2 percs in that tank, after you look at it with corals and live rock, you will see that the percs will use the entire tank. 30g isn't very big even for something like a little clown. I say put the 2 percs in and place corals and an anemone along the live rock. With the two fish it will look very nice and you won't have to spend the money replacing any dead fish. But, that is only my opinion, do what you will.

iam not going to get a maroon , no way

my opinion is just do the 2 true percs i have 2 in my 72bo and just love them here is a pic of them (they are mad at each other and will not talk to the other in this pic)

[sandman12]

haha but is that the only fish u have?

know i have a hippo tang and a naso tang and a tomato clown is my sump that i would not put in the tank with my true perc. but the naso and tomato will be making a move to my 150 as soon as the cycle is over so i will just have the hippo tang in with them.
