Bicinctus Clownfish?

[Madman133]

I have heard conflicting stories on thes guys (Amphiprion bicinctus). Some people have said that they are really hard to keep and others not so hard. swf.com has aquacultured ones and I was wondering how big of a difference will that make in terms of hardiness? Also can they be kept in pairs(not mated just 2 random specimens) or do they have to be kept singly unkess they are mated?

Thanks,
Taylor

Aquacultured should be hardier, but WC bicinctus are pretty hardy anyway.
If you get two small fish of different size and introduce them to your tank at the same time, they will almost always get along and form a pair. When they get big enough, they will start to spawn.
