After my gig settles in more I would like to add a pair of clowns.
I like the Picassos and Extra Black True Perculas. Choosing a clownfish pair will be diffcult. As long as they stay in the gig playing any will be fine. The gigs expands dinner plate size now.
Do you perfer ocellaris or percula? Why?
Pics of gigs with clownfish would be nice. I have seen a lot of pics on here, but sometimes name of clownfish is not listed.

After seeing my skunks take to my gigs and literally surfing in and out while being pretty gentle, I have to nominate pink skunks:)

I have a pair of Rod's Onyx clowns (A. percula) with my gig. I just like the extra black that the onyx clowns have.

Our Booyah's Onyx clowns are absolutely stunning in our purple Gig... Will look even better when the purple gig is actually fully colored up.

Here's an older picture, the Gig is much more purple now..

I do like those punk skunks, nice.
I talked to Mitch today about a pair of onyx perculas. I like their colors, orange, black, and white. That is what i will be ordering.

I do like the skunk combo a lot, but I feel as if you are successful enough to keep this difficult species for any length of time, true perculas, especially those exhibiting the onyx traits, are the ultimate payoff.

First off, depending on the anemone species you keep them with, onyx percs may or may not keep their beautiful black outline and usually fade with time with such nems as mags or bubble tips. However, with gigs it's almost a certainty they will remain black. In fact, from my understanding, gigantea is the only anemone species that wild onyx percs are found in. Therefore, if it were me, ideally, I would keep my gig with the darkest pair of onyx I could find.

That was my thinking EXACTLY. When I knew I was getting a pair of Onyx Clowns, I sold my magnifica for a gig.

I agree with the perculas with onyx traits. I kinda like my Picassos with my gig.

True perculas, for the win!

In my opinion, the "classic" combo!
