Clownfish! Does it matter if its a Percula or Ocellaris?

NonstopSoda · Sep 3, 2024

Hey all! I just got back from my labor day trip and cleaned up my tank while adding some new things! (Ill add some pictures and what not in my tank thread later)

Anyways my question is will a percula clown pair with a ocellaris or will they fight? I have a decent sized female onyx percula in my 26 g that is about 2 almost 3 years old now and shes a sweet heart to everything I add into my tank and is never aggressive, I know that clowns dont "need" a pair to be happy but my bf and family really want me to get her a partner and Ive been having trouble finding percula clowns from my LFS nearby. Thanks everyone! glad to be back.

They can form pairs but percs are so much prettier I would hold out for one ! They are tougher to find though.

Veru true! I love true percs and would much rather have 2 of them then a ocellaris, Im heading to a few LFS farther away from me in hopes of finding a cool designer one! But if my quest is futile and I go with an ocellaris its good to know they can make pairs, thank you!
