biocube clownfish

hello everyone,

it seems as though i have bully sixline that killed one of my true percs lastnight. i'd like to trade in the remaining perc and get pair of a different species. what species of clown can i put in a biocube29 with a bully sixline? i've heard that pink and orange skunks are tough little clowns.....any suggestions would be welcome!!!!

oh a species that would host my bta, as my perc did, would be nice too!!!

maroons...

IME, skunks are wimps

hmmm....what about tomatoes or clarkii? could i keep one of these species in a 29?
or does anyone think larger individuals would stand up to the wrasse? the perc was on the small side, still only 1.5 inches

Just take the wrasse out over night and let the clowns settle in...change the aquascape around.

IME Clarki grow slowly, but they are tuff, but if your fish a bully and kills stuff then you need a bit more. Maroon now thats a bully stopper, a female will definetly regulate your tank haha.

My Maroon is verry interactive. much more then the percs or the clarki. I think next to false percs they have the best personality.

I havent owned a tomato clown but the ones Ive met seem like they would do fine. I kinda think they are crazy though many do wild aggro dances I would give them more space.

i'd really like to have a pair.......i know pairing maroon's is hard, but say i would get my hands on a pair.....would they be ok in my bc 29?

 

[bugbdon]

alright, i've decided.....i'll get one gold strip maroon...and later maybe i'll pair her up! thanks for the advice ppl
