Perc Clowns

[nyy fan]

I have heard people on the board speak about getting clowns that "get along" with each other.
If I buy two Percs that are approx. the same size, and add them at the same time, will I have a problem with them getting along? The LFS said they have been together for almost two weeks alone, and I didn't see any signs of fighting on their bodies.
FYI: They are about 1 - 1.5" right now.

I have two perc clowns. I chose them out of a tank with 30 or so... all healthy and active. They are still about the same size so I don't know who will become the male/female, etc.
Anyway, they have always gotten along. They do a little dominance dance from time to time, but nothing violent. In fact, it is pretty cute.

Yeah Percs are not as aggressive as some of the other clowns. You should not have a problem adding them together at the same time especially if they are the same size. I have two Percs in my tank and they are always together no violence at all.

I added 3, 1 1/2" perc clowns at the same time, and it has been about 2 months and they are doing fine.

The BEST way to get a pair is second nature (not kidding). Almost all of my pairs have happened because when the one fish is netted, the other WILL swim into the net with it.
Also my pair of tomatoe clowns were alone in a big tank at the lfs. If you see them like that, they are probably mated, but that you'll probably only see in an educated/good store.
I firmly believe some lfs are more knowledgeable than other lfs, and may or may not have better choices in some stock in some animals, ie fish here, inverts there.
