After much consideration I added A second Percula clown to my tank. Both are juvenile around an 1 1/2". The new one is just A bit larger.

I assumed there would immediately be A scuffle over the Sebae Anemone. Well the first Percula practically invited the new clown right on in. The new clown actually got the other to come out of the anemone, which it had never done before. I am amazed at how well they are doing so far! I am so happy! They look so cute together, I hope it stays this way!

I just wanted to share my exciting news!

Nice clowns. But, are you sure that they're both perculas. The one at the top looks like an ocelaris to me. I may be wrong, but it looks exactly like my ocellaris.

i agree with mrsdorothy, the top one looks much more like a false perc

I know one is a false, and one is a true perc. (We dont mind.) My LFS still sold them both as true percs.

The false perc. was the first one in the tank about a month ago. It was so tiny when we got it.

Today we finally decided to get him a buddy. We didnt want to get one too much bigger. The true perc was the smallest perc. in the store so we decided to give it a shot. They are so cute, their both still sharing the anemone.

Nice fish! That is a great shot to compare the two different kinds.

They probably could spawn. I have seen picutres of a tomato and a perc spawn before so imagine its possible. But it looks like an ocellaris to me not a true perc.

So far all is going well, they are still sharing the anemone. They both stay in it all night. During the day they follow each other around, but they never get too far away from the anemone.

Thanks for the compliments!
