Adding 2 black percs with 1 ocellaris??

[eb8919]

I pre-paid for a pair of black percs at the lfs and am going to be adding them soon. I have 1 larger occellaris in the tank already. Will the pair of percs beat on it or will the large ocellaris beat on 1 of the black percs until it makes a pair. Or could it go either way??? lol. Do clowns make pairs with different types is basically what it comes down to.

You are actually going to be getting 2 black and white occellairs, for some reason a lot of vendors miss-name them.

Anyways, you would be best served to get rid of the existing clown. It might work out for a bit, but in time the new pair will kill the existing one.

I agree it will most likely end up with a couple dead fish.

I would get rid of the existing clown too. Its also pretty likely that it'll go after the new ones as soon as you add them if you don't.
