[saltynewbie]

will they? do you have a pair? if so, i'd like to see a pic. thanks everyone!

 

[killafins]

yes, they'll pair just fine

I haven't gotten my first fish yet, but have heard that sometimes it might not work out. Dont take my word for it, but just what I have read.
It just all depends I guess.
I would like to know more about this too as well, cause I would like to get a pair of different clowns also.

 

[killafins]

Ehhh, some clowns such as the tomato and perc or maroon and tomato won't work ou fine... but those buggers iwll

 

[dflannagan]

so far, so good but it's only been 2 months at this point

 

[redsnapper]

I just got them about a week ago. they pick on eachother once and a while

but here they are!!

 

[dflannagan]

are they both picking on each other or does one pick on the other?

 

[troubledfemale]

I had a pair and they almost killed each other.

 

[stapler]

I guess its a hit or miss thing.

The black perc picks on the false perc. rarely the false picks on the black but there just chasing:joy: I hope it works out

If it's just the one picking on the other than you should be ok in the long run I believe. The picking is the asserting of dominance to keep the other male. Every once in awhile my black/white will get after my orange/white like that

that's what happened with mine. the little guy would swim closer and she would give him a nip to keep him a little bit away. she still does on occassion though usually only when he crashes into her

i thought that i remembered someone having a mating pair of percs in which one was a black/white.... i guess it must have just been a dark color morph or something. are bang guy's percs normal or dark?

 

[jmg]

so do they have to be prepaired up to mate? or will they eventually mate.. like even of the same race?

 

[bang guy]

If they are both Ocellaris Clowns and both have not changed into females yet then they will probably pair up.

 

[redsnapper]

Are they yours? they look really nice

 

[bang guy]

Yes, thank you! Those are mine guarding their eggs.

 

[redsnapper]

What will the babys be/look like?
