Percula Clownfish

[bowser220]

I have two clownfish and the color is different with each one. The first Percula Clownfish is a reddish orange and the second is a lighter orange. I've had them for three weeks. Is that normal?

Describe their stripes. I bet one's a Per and one's an Ocellaris. Post pics when you can.

I am trying to add some pictures but the site will not take the pictures. Is there some secret?

The pet store I work at gets in groups of 20 or so false perculas at a time and there is always variation like that. I originally bought one orange one and one duller one and traded in the duller one so they would both match. It seems some are tangerine colored while others are more pumpkin colored and some are more yellowish brown. Sorry I don't have an answer as to why!!

Upload them to a photo host and then copy and paste hte image tag in your post.

They both look like ocellaris clowns. Not all clowns come in the exact same color, just like people.

That's what I thought! I was just curious since I've had several and I have never seen a different color.

maybe they're different ages, hence the difference?
