Probably an Ocellaris. Ocellaris clowns darken just like that with age, as where percs dont. As percs grow, the black lines along the white thicken big time. The darker one, that looks a lot like yours is actually an ocellaris clown. Not a percula, as it would appear to be, and I assume you have a similar situation. If you ask me, you've got an ocellaris. Believe it or not, in that pic of mine, the bright orange one, which you'd think is an ocellaris, is actually a percula, and the dark one, that looks like a percula, is actually an ocellaris.

. I agree on your call as an ocellaris for Greenchrom.
He wasn't real old. He hadn't developed the thick dark lines yet. I got him when he was really small, and in that pic, he was only about a year old. My fish never pose for me.
I'm not the best photographer out there..

GREAT! you guys have been very very helpfull! im gonna go out and get myself a false perc today now and play the mating game *WINK* Any suggestions on size? obviously either a juvenile or a fish smaller than it right? Should i try to find one simmilar in coloration so as to match her age? I already am planning on using a clear tub with holes drilled in the sides to help them.. ...accept eachother.

Does this also apply to Maroon clowns? I would like to get my Maroon a mate.
