You guys have probably seen this type of post before, but I wasn't able to find one for the first 4 pages so figured I'd post it again.
I'm in the process of setting up my first marine aquarium which is a 36g Bowfront. I intend to get a pair of clowns which will be my primary fish in the tank. Down the road some time next year I may add one or two more fish, but that is a topic for another day.
Anyway, I was thinking of getting a Black False Percula and a False Percula. Although different in appearance, I believe they are the same species and I'm curious if others here have had any success with keeping them as a bonded pair?
Because I am new and just starting out, I'm probably not going to introduce both at the same time even though I really want to just so I can take things very slowly (plus I want to ensure the Black is a male).
Do you guys forsee any problems? Would you suggest I introduce both at the same time just to improve my chances of them bonding well? Perhaps I should start with a different fish and get the 2 clowns later? Or should I do alright introducing 2 clowns to a new system at the same time because they would both be aquacultured and more hardy?
Any advice is welcome, thanks!
