How do i keep true perk fry from balling up

[wilfx]

My true perks are 10 days old, They hang in the top back corners of the tank. I moved them from the 2 gal, into a 10 gal.I have tryed to put some live rock, and fake plants, even cheato. but they wont leave the group. I have heard that they end up dieing when you try to seperate them, I dont want to beleive this... Has anyone had this happen to their perks? I have raised and sold 3 batches of false perks, at night they would ball up but in the AM they would travel the tank. I have another batch coming in about 8 days. I would like to know if i need to do anything differntly for the.

Clown's hanging together at that age is perfectly normal, no need to worry at all!! My tomato fry are all huddled together by the heater as we speak!!

If you haven't read it yet Clownfishes by Joyce Wilkerson is a great read and you will learn everything you will ever want to know about raising clowns and more!

+1 to picking up Joyce's book. Lots of good info in there.

I agree that you need not worry. I also have Joyce's book, Clownfishes, which is considered to be the clown fish "bible" and she talks about the clown fish ball. I believe she said they do that for protection. Congrats on your success so far!
