percula question

[goldfish]

I currently have a 75g fowlr tank. Fishies in there...picasso trigger, niger trigger, sailfin tang, moray eel and domino damsel. Can a percula clown makes its home there, or do they need to have anenomes? My lfs guy has some, but he said I should have somewhere for him to sleep. Is he right???

You have an aggressive set up. A percula would either have a tough time or just get killed.

It is a little on the heavy side...i just lost my yellow tang yesterday. The only reason I was asking is because I know some perculas can "hold their own" so to speak in a tougher tank. I've had these guys for about 18 months and everyone is doing fine. The sailfin is my latest addition...maybe 6 weeks ago or so.
To be honest, whenever I added anyone new the yellow tang was the only one to "get his feathers ruffled." Both triggers could have cared less than a new tankmate was added. I've never seen my picasso bother a soul in there. The niger chases picasso a little, but never has taken a bite out of him.
I guess I am a bit packed. Suppose we'll just let it ride.........thanks!!

Your tank is a bit packed. If you were to add a clown, I'd say go with a Tomato or maybe a big Maroon. They're tough clowns.

I think I'm gonna leave it the way it is for now. I've always wanted some sort of clown though...they are really beautiful.
