Perc. Clown Question

[trebor126]

This might be a dumb question, but can you put a False and True Perc. Clown in the same tank together or will they fight?
Thanks for the help!

They should be fine together, since they look so much alike anyway. I had a true perc and a false perc together before with no problems.

Not with a Maroon too.

Thanks for the fast replies.
I should of mentioned that these clowns will be in a seprate tank for my son.
I had 2 false percs in the tank for 4 months, then the other day, I saw only one. I looked all through the tank, then finally discovered the missing fish under the tank stand all dried out
He must of jumped out of the tank over night.
The LFS has only True percs that are also tanked raised. I wanted to make sure these fish would get along before I bought it.
Thanks again for the fast replies

Oh, so they're not going into your 55. What size tank? They don't really get along but in a 55 they might be spread out enough so they don't fight.

I have a 10 gal. with 20lbs LS and one large piece of HI base rock that is slowly getting some green algae on it. These fish will be the only fish in the tank.
I also have one turbo snail for algae control.
