Adding two additional percs to new aquarium???

[karsco]

Ok, here is my situation I have a mated pair of false percs in 58G reef (8years old, lay eggs regularly) and another pair percs in my 15G at work. (1-1/2 years old)

I am setting up a 100 gallon new tank at home. My question is it possible to add the smaller/younger percs to the new 100 gallon aquarium with my older mated pair when I transfer everything to the new tank? I am afraid the old female would kill this younger pair, what do you guys think???

^ That is exactly what I think.

Thanks michellejy for the reply. Any other experiences or opinions on this???

I think the older pair will kill the younger ones as well. You never no with Ocellaris though. They can surprise you at times... I'd try it and keep an eye on them. I'd introduce them to the new tank at the same time (at night) if I was going to try it at all.

I agree the older percs will attack the younger ones
