Is he a false or true percula?

[CoRPS]

I got 2 clowns today and when I saw it I thought it was a false perc but they had them labeled as TR Percula.

Here's a picture.

Looks like a false perc -> oscellaris. Nice fish anyhow.

[CoRPS]

Thanks man, thought so. Seems like all the LFS around here label false percs as true percs. I'll try and get some better pictures later :)

[RicksReefs]

ya, there is a trend lately to label occelaris as perc's and perc's as true perc's.

Here's a better picture :)

Looks more like a false from what I've seen. Cute fish. Been thinking about one myself.

Do you have an anemone for it?

[CoRPS]

Nope, I don't.

Tank is still new, I don't think an anemone would work out in my tank. not to mention I have almost no lighting

I have seen Pink and Orange Skunks commonly mixed up.

Does the "TR" mean "true" or "tank raised"?

[Punikin]

Looks like a false. True percs usually have darker black bands, but the only true way to find out is by the number of fins.

[CoRPS]

that's a good question, didn't think about that acronym

[ser_renely]

tank raised in I think.

def a ocsellaris
