Looks like an oscellaris to me.

 

[tonynader]

oscellaris for sure

 

[troy989]

are they gona start fighting

 

[jetskiking]

Actually they will probably just pair up like any other clowns as long as they both are not already female. I have a perc and a black oscellaris paired in my 120 they just havn't bred. It is possible for them to breed just not as likely.

Do not worry...I feel pretty confident they will not breed in your tank

 

[troy989]

y are u in a negative mood today?

 

[troy989]

what should i name the big one?? (i know its random) the litle one's name is oscar

They both look to be ocellaris to me, but it isn't an easy thing to determine especially at the current age they are.
In any case, an ocellaris and percula may pair up and even reproduce creating offspring that are commonly called percularis. Sometimes even ocecula.

I agree plus the body shape makes me believe it also. oscillaris tend to look a little more streamlined in most cases. They are commonly sold as false percs also. That could have been the confusion.

 

[troy989]

Yea I know I just like to say oceleris I think false perc is a mean nameo

but I'm sure it said percula

damit i paid $30 a piece but i still think biger one is perc look at the thicknes of the line ill post beter pic of him plus hes just a baby.

 

[troy989]

here he is

I still believe the other is a percula. What makes me think this is the larger black lines, the fact that the front dorsal is not really taller than the rear dorsal. Its hard to be definate from the pictures though. Can you count the number of bones in the dorsal? on the first on that is an oscellaris notice how high the front of the dorsal is compaired to the back.

after seeing the second pic... i still think its an oscellaris
