trble81 January 31, 2007 January 31, 2007 All, We have a juvie false perc in our tank now (newly aquired from the Scales social). We had been offered another false perc from a member. That one is an adult. He's a model citizen in his tank but will that transfer over to ours? We have a 36 gallon hex with a bunch of LR where the little guy can hide but would it be better to get a different type of clown (like a Clarkii)? Any insight would be greatly appreciated!
Guest HVF21221 January 31, 2007 January 31, 2007 Do not mix the two species of clowns. A 36g is too small for clarkii once they are full grown. The false percs should pair up and is probably the best combination in that size tank. All, We have a juvie false perc in our tank now (newly aquired from the Scales social).

trble81 January 31, 2007 Author January 31, 2007 Well I guess we will be ok in taking the adult false perc and adding it in with our juvie. Hopefully they will get along and maybe someday pair up. Maybe I am wishing too much and should just stick with hoping they don't kill each other. They will be the only fish in the tank for now though.
davelin315 February 4, 2007 February 4, 2007 Let them get used to each other first, if you can, put the adult in a smaller container and float it in the tank until any signs of aggression go away. If the other is that small, you never know what might happen.
trble81 February 4, 2007 Author February 4, 2007 We actually added the larger/adult false perc to the tank a few days ago. They are both as happy as can be! The little one likes to mimic the larger one (the big guy swims down the glass, then up...and so does his little shadow). They haven't chased each other or shown any agression. The larger one does like to hang near the surface a lot of the time but when they have an audience, they'll swim around the tank. Hopefully this relationship will not change.
