clarkii and true perc together in a nano?

[ezcompany]

I could bet money that the clarkii will run the true perc down, but just wanted to confirm. the clarkii is already in the tank. 14 gallon bowfront.

 

[Zaita]

Yes. You are correct. Clarkii is quite a large clown, Perc wouldn't stand a chance.

 

[Toddrtrex]

Yep.

Heck my clarkii pair wouldn't even allow a 3 stripe damsel to come out of its cave in my 75.

While I agree that it will most likley end up in a bad way, and I dont advise this, there have been some lucky people on here able to put a maroon together with an occelaris or other unlikley safe matches...I think one girl had them in a 14 biocube!

Again, I dont suggest it...just pointing it out.

 

[myreefcentral]

not smart...i'd take the perc out unless you want an ammonia spike...haha!

Not too sure as to why this is funny....but okay.

Yeah, Clarkkis are one of those clowns that need to be paired and added last in an aquarium if you want them. They get VERY territorial, don't get me wrong though, I have never heard of a pair that has bitten the hand that feeds it, but they can be big bullies.

My clarkiis draw blood when they bite and my hand is the only hand that has fed them for the last 8 yrs



And now you've heard it :lol:

Another crazy pair:
My Slippery Dick Wrasse - about 6 in - has never even come close to my Coral Bandit Shrimp.
