I believed the lfs in lancaster when they said "get 3 one will be female one the dominant male and the 3rd will be there to take that males place should he die or should she die the dominant male will be female and then the 3rd fish will take the male dominant role............. they also told me that I could have 3 clowns of seperate species all coexisting in my tank as it is the one supposed to be perc is alot darker (more black) than the outher supposed to be perc. them bastages!!!! next time I am going to throw out feelers on this site before I listen to them I'm a nurse and it just burns me that I can save sick people but I couldn't save my pet fishie ............. thanks for the heads up
I wish I woould have asked sooner
