Clownfish- what kind to get?

[chelseabrook]

Wanting to get a pair of clowns that will eventually pair up. I want to get two that look different like and black and white and an orange and white . I don't know whether to get ocellaris or perculas though.

What's the diff in personality , color etc

Will both types host in a bta? Are any type more likely to breed than the other ?

There is never a guarantee that a clownfish will host an anemone. You will usually have better luck with anemones that host the clownfish naturally in the ocean. I'd recommend getting A. percula but that's really just a personal preference. Ocellaris usually get a bit bigger.

Here's my picasso perculas:

I'm partial to the ocellaris morphs, but some of the extreme Picassos also get my attention.

I love my Wyoming white pair, and my black phantom. But I'm also very partial to the whole snowflake spectrum, as I also have a black ice (currently paired with my phantom) and a pair of nice snowflakes. I've also been looking into the DaVinci maybe getting a DaVinci clown as well down the road if I set up yet another tank.

I personally love the Grade A Snowflake clown.

When you say one of each do you mean a percula and a ocellaris?

Ya they are like shaking and dancing together it's so funny to watch
