Black perculas

[gkimble]

Where can I get some black pers?
Do you think he should go with a pair?
Do they show the same personality when they are by themselves.
I don't think my cousin would have enough room with his 12 gallon aquapod.
He currently has 1 six line
and some crabs.
can this be done?

Yes of course it would be more interesting. It's much cooler to see two fish interact that to have one just do its thing. I'm sure by having a pair it makes the clowns much happier as well.

Where can I get a pair of clowns?

Contact "Fishboy42" he breeds many types of clown, including True Perc Onyx. He is in TN, so shipping to Ohio should not be to bad. I had good experience with him.

First off, more than likely you mean Black Ocellaris.

Secondly, a Sixline in a 12 gallon is horrible. Most would say a 30 gallon at minimum. That's like putting a tang in there practically. Sixlines are extremely active fish that like to swim all day, darting in and out of the rock. My sixline in my 58 is getting to about 3", and I'm thinking about getting him out of there due to not enough space. A sixline in a 12 gallon is just wrong.

Third, I would put maybe one if any in a 12 gallon with no other fish. I would recommend something more on the lines of a small goby and a shrimp or something in a 12 gallon. Anything more is a high bioload, and an extremely tight fit for fish.
