Pink Skunk Clown and Percula Clown

[6mmmedic]

I have a true percula in my 55 gallon. My LFS just recently got some pink skunks in and I love them. Would the two get along?

its inadvisable to mix different species of clowns

That was acutally my thought, but I wasnt sure. I have noticed some folks on here have tomato and percula mixed and maybe some other combinations.

some people have luck with it, but, generally, the clowns will fight to the death

You're borderline. You've picked the two least aggressive types of clowns, and your tank just might be big enough to pull it off.
The 'no two clowns rule' usually applies to more aggressive species (tomato, maroon) and smaller tanks.
If it was a 75, I'd say yes; anything smaller, no. But I'm on the fence with this one.

Thanks gmann....I have a friend that used to work in a fish store and says the same thing as you. I might just have to try it!!
